    If when you say 5 6 you mean 5/6 and 3 4 you mean 3/4 then this is your answer.

    So 12,000 / 6 = 2000, which is 1/6 of the overall costs, then

    2000x5 = 10000 which is the 5/6 we need to pay.

    If medicare with pay for 3/4 of it then

    1000x0.75 = 7500 that's what they'll pay

    and Ross with pay the remaining 2,500 dollars.

    So A
