Maria cardenas had a policy with a $500 deductible which paid 80% of her covered charges less deductible. she had medical expenses of $12,500. calculate: a. the company's payment $ b. the 20% copayment $ c. mary's total cost

A.) The insurance company's payment is 80% of the total minus the $500 deductible, so:
(12500 - 500) * .8 = 9600

B.) To find the Copay, you do almost the same thing:
(12500 - 500) * .2 = 2500

C.) Mary's Total Cost: 2500 + 500 = 3000.00

Step 1: 6x-10=1; step 2: 6x=11
