Vivian's insurance company pays for 80% of her foot surgery after she pays a $500 deductible. How much will Vivian pay for her surgery if it costs $9600?

Given that the insurance pays 80% of the cost of surgery and the surgery cost $9600, the amount of money Vivian will pay will be given as follows:

20/100*9600

=$1960

since she will cater for the deductibles that amount to $500 before the insurance takes over, then the total amount she will have to pay will be:

1960+500

=$2420
