Livia Graves · Answer 1

If his boss pays 65% of his premium, then Gerald pays 35% ...

0.35 (345) = 120.75

if his boss pays 50% of his dental, then Gerald pays 50%

0.50 (38) = 19

if his boss pays 75% of his vision, then Gerald pays 25%

0.25 (23) = 5.75

so in total, Gerald pays : 120.75 + 19 + 5.75 = 145.50 <=
