You have broken your arm and your major medical insurance does not cover $520 of the expenses. You can direct $85 from each paycheck (every other week) toward paying this bill.
What payment period will you try to negotiate with the medical center in order to pay the bill in full? (Round the final answer up to the next full week.)
Requested payment period weeks
Amount due = $ 520
Payment amount = $85
Gap of payments = 2 weeks
Hence number of bi weekly payments = 520/85 =
6.117647 |
Number of weeks required to pay = 6.117647*2 = 12.23529
rounded off to 13 weeks
