Paul Smith pays $50.00 a month for group health insurance. There is a $300 deductible. His medical bills for the last year were $2,600.00. Paul’s insurance company provided payment of 80% of the bills less the deductible. What was Paul’s total cost (including the monthly premium)?

$1,360

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the monthly payment of $50 and multiply it by 12 because there is 12 months in a year which is $600. Next subtract $2,600 by your deduction of $300 which is $2,300. Then multiply by 20% because the insurance pays 80% leaving you with 20%, you get $460. Add $460 and $300 because those are the amounts you paid and you get $760. Now add the $600 to the $760 because of the monthly payment. The total comes out to $1,360.

answer: i guess 105 degrees?

step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
