Melina · Answer 1

Given:

20 co-pays to see doctor

10 co-pays for prescription drugs

1,000 annual deductible.

3 doctors with the following bills - 857, 139, 271

2 prescription drugs - 40 and 27

Co-pay means that Martha should pay a fixed amount to see doctors and for prescription drugs.

Martha saw 3 doctors so her total co-pay is 60. (20 x 3)

Martha has 2 prescription, so her total co-pay is 20. (10 x 2)

Martha's share of the bills in May is 80. (60 + 20)
