Solve the following word problem for the portion, rate, or base.

A medical insurance policy requires Ana to pay the first $100 of her hospital expense. The insurance company will then pay 60% of the remaining expense. Ana is expecting a short surgical stay in the hospital, for which she estimates the total bill to be about $5,500. How much will Ana's portion of the bill amount to?

I am so lost if any one knows this and can help me with the steps I can solve it from there!

the remaining expenses are 4500 - 100 = 4400

Ana will pay $100 + 20% of the remaining expenses:

100 + 0.20(4500 - 100) = $980

ok so I have the same problem as you but the numbers in it are a little different. so applying my solution to your problem will look like this:

the remaining expenses are 5500 - 100 = 5400

Ana will pay $100 + 60% of the remaining expenses:

100 + 0.60(5500 - 100) = $3340

Answered by henry2,
5500 - 100 = $5400 = Remaining expense.

0.6 * 5400 = $3240 = Amt. paid by ins. co.

5400 - 3240 = $2160 = Remaining bal.

Ana's portion = 100 + 2160 = $2260.
