From each of Janet's weekly paychecks, $13.50 is deducted for health insurance. If her employer is paying 80% of the cost of this insurance, what is the total annual premium for Janet's health insurance?

Respuesta :

Given:

Weekly deduction = $13.50

Employer is paying 80% of the cost of this insurance

To find:

Total annual premium of Janet's insurance

Solution:

If 80% of the 13.50 is remitted weekly  then the weekly deduction will be,

[tex]\Rightarrow\frac{80}{100}\times13.50 = \$10.80[/tex]

Then the amount remitted in a year will be as follows,

[tex]\Rightarrow\$10.80\times52 = \$561.6[/tex]

(One year = 52 weeks)

Therefore, a total amount of $561.6 will be the the total annual premium for Janet's health insurance.
