the remaining expenses are 4500 - 100 = 4400
Ana will pay $100 + 20% of the remaining expenses:
100 + 0.20(4500 - 100) = $980
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!

ughh my brain is like blah. its not understanding how this problem should look
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
the remaining expenses are 5500 - 100 = 5400
Ana will pay $100 + 60% of the remaining expenses:
100 + 0.60(5500 - 100) = $3340
im still lost...
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.
0.6 * 5400 = $3240 = Amt. paid by ins. co.
5400 - 3240 = $2160 = Remaining bal.
Ana's portion = 100 + 2160 = $2260.
