Question

Bayside insurance offers two plans. under Plan A, Gisele would pay the first $50 of her medical bills and 20% of all bills after that. under Plan B, Giselle would pay the first $250 of bills, but only 10% of the rest for what amount of medical bills will Plan B save Giselle money? (Assume that her bills will exceed $250)

Answer 1

I'm not going to give you the answer, but I'll show you how to break it down.

First, pick a number that will equal her expenses - say $1,000.  Then, do the math.

$1,000 - $50 = x

20% of x = y

x + y = ?

$1,000 - $250 = a

10% of a = b

a + b = ?

Now compare your answers - which one has her paying more money?  That will give you your answer.
