\n" ); document.write( "If Jen paid a total of $750 in medical expenses last year, how much did her insurance company pay?
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Jen's total medical expenses for the year are 750
\n" ); document.write( "She paid $500 + 20% of her medical costs over $500
\n" ); document.write( "Let her med costs over 500 be \"x\".
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "0.20x = $250
\n" ); document.write( "x = $1250
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "The insurance company paid 80% of Jen's med cost -$500
\n" ); document.write( "Company paid 0.80(1250) = $1000.00
