Asako's employer covers 90% of the cost of a $3500-per-year health insurance plan and 60% of the cost of a $1300-per-year disability insurance plan. If Asako gets paid monthly, what is the total amount deducted from her gross income health and disability insurance during each pay period?

If the employer covers 90% of health insurance at 3500 per year, she pays 10% ... 0.10 (3500) = 350 per yr ... 350/12 = 29.17 per month

if the employer covers 60% of disability at 1300 per yr, she pays 40%

0.40 (1300) = 520 per yr ... 520/12 = 43.33 per month

total amount deducted per month is (29.17 + 43.33) = 72.50 <==
