With a certain medical insurance policy, the customer must first pay an annual $100 deductible, and then the policy covers 80% of the cost of x-rays. The first insurance claims for a specific year submitted by a person are for two x-rays. The first x-ray cost $620, and the second x-ray cost $960. How much, in total, will he need to pay for these x-rays?
Since, policy covers 80% of x-ray cost.
So, customer has to pay 20% of x-ray cost.
Total cost of two x-rays = $960 + $620 = $1580
So, amount to be paid by customer
=20% of $1580
= $(1580×20/100) = $316.
But ,$100 is deductible.
So, total cost to be paid by customer = $(316-100)
= $216. Ans.
