Health Insurance

Question 4 • 26-27 Ignite Financial Literacy Personal Finance - EL3403

Bob’s employer covers 23% of his family’s annual health insurance premium. The balance of the premium is deducted in equal amounts from Bob’s paycheck 26 times over the calendar year. If $185.30 is withheld from each of Bob’s paychecks, what is his family’s annual health insurance premium?

Answer
A
$805.65
B
$4,817.80
C
$6,256.88
D
$20,946.96

Explanation

Bob pays the portion not covered by his employer: 100% − 23% = 77% of the annual premium. His total paycheck deductions are $185.30 × 26 = $4,817.80, so this is 77% of the premium. Divide $4,817.80 by 0.77 to get $6,256.88, choice C.
