2320
2420

after doing the math and writing it out. it has to be one of these three answers but i do beleive that its the second answer but i need reassurance

We have been given that Vivian's insurance company pays for 80% of her foot surgery, after she pays a $500 deductible. We have been given that her surgery costs $9600 and we need to find how much will Vivian have to pay for her surgery.

Since we know that the insurance company will pay any amount after Vivian has paid $500. Therefore, the remaining amount after Vivian pays $500 as deductibles will be $9600 - $500 = $9100.

Now we know that Vivian's insurance company will pay 80% of this amount, therefore, Vivian will have to pay the 20% of $9100 in addition to the $500 she already paid.

20% of $9100 is

Therefore, the total amount that Vivian pays for surgery is $500 + $1820 = $2320.

Therefore, the first choice given is the right answer.
