I don't know how to get the answer, but i know the answer is 127.50.

Answer:

$127.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Braden's employers covers 70% of the cost of a $5100-per-year health insurance plan.

First of all, we will find annual amount of health insurance plan paid by Braden  by finding 30% (100-70) of $5100.

[tex]\text{Annual amount paid by Braden for health insurance}=\frac{30}{100}\times \$5100[/tex]

[tex]\text{Annual amount paid by Braden for health insurance}=0.30\times \$5100[/tex]

[tex]\text{Annual amount paid by Braden for health insurance}=\$1530[/tex]

Now, we will divide $1530 by 12 to find amount deducted from Braden's paycheck each month.

[tex]\text{Monthly deduction for health insurance}=\frac{\$1530}{12}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Monthly deduction for health insurance}=\$127.50[/tex]

Therefore, an amount of $127.50 is deducted from Braden's paycheck each month for health insurance.
