You are a receptionist at a doctor's office. a patient's bill for a checkup totals $85.00. the patient's health insurance requires the patient to pay 20% of the total bill. how much should the patient pay for the checkup?

$17.

To find this, set up a simple fraction like equation. Using the is over of technique, this equation is formed.

x / 20 = 85 / 100

Multiply 20 with 85 before dividing by 100 to get the final answer of 17.

Hope this helps!

blue marble is 15 times out of 50 = 15/50 reduces to 3/10

landing on tails is 24 out of 50 = 24/50 reduces to 12/25

to find the probability of both multiply together:

3/10 x 12/25 = 3 x 12 / 10 x 25 = 36/250

if you multiplied the numerator and denominator by 10 you get 360/2500.

the answer is 360/2500

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3
