Answer:
$70
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that Cameron's employer pays 70% of his insurance.
To figure out the percent of his insurance that Cameron has to pay, we can subtract the portion that his employer pays from 100%:
C = (100% - 70%)x = 30%x = 0.30x
where:
Now, we can solve for the total cost of Cameron's insurance (x) by plugging $30 in for C:
$30 = 0.30x
↓ dividing both sides by 0.30
$100 = x
And we know that his employer pays 70% of his insurance, so:
E = 0.70x
where:
↓ plugging in x = $100
E = 0.70($100)
↓ executing the multiplication
E = $70
So, his employer is paying $70.
