Question: Mike has to get an x-ray and an MRI. The x-ray is $250 and the MRI is triple that cost. Insurance covers 80%. How much did he pay? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
The MRI cost 250 * 3 = $750. So between the two things he pays 250 + 750 = $1000. Insurance covered 1000 * .8 = $800. So he had to pay 1000 - 800 = $200. So the answer is 200.
