Question 183080: Bayside insurance offers two health plans. Under plan A,Giselle would have to pay the first $110 dollars of her medical bills, plus 25% of the rest. Under plan B, Giselle would have to pay the first $190, but only 20% of the rest. For what amount medical bills will plan B save Giselle Money? Assume she has over $190 in bills.
Giselle would save with plan B if she had more than $____ in bills.
(round to the nearest whole number)
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First, write the equations for each situation: Where x = the excess cost cost medical bills. Where x = the excess cost of medical bills.
You need to find the value of x for which B is less than A, so... or... Solve for x by subtracting 110 from both sides. Now Subtract 0.2x from both sides. Finally, divide both sides by 0.05 or
Giselle would save with plan B if she had more than $1600.00 + $190.00 = $1790.00 in medical bills.
