Question

Jayce’s insurance company pays for 90% of the cost of an ambulance ride, after he pays a $250 deductible. The ambulance ride costs $1400. How much would Jayce pay for an ambulance ride?

Answer 1

To answer this question you would subtract the $250 deductible from $1400. The answer would be $1150 remaining After the deductible. You would then pay 10% of this $1150 for your cost. 0.10 times $1150 =$115. Add the $115 to the $250 deductible and your total cost would be $365.
