Respuesta :

Answer:

Lara's semimonthly deduction = $62.59

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of premium Lara's employer pays = 75%

Percentage of premium Lara needs to pay = 25%.

Total premium = $6009

So, the total she pays in 1 year (annual) of her premium is = 25% of 6009

                                                                                                = 0.25 × 6009

                                                                                                = $1502.25

[tex]\text{So, amount of premium Lara pays each month = }\frac{1502.25}{12}\approx \$125.19\\\\\text{To find semimonthly deduction divide the monthly deduction by 2}\\\\\bf\implies \textbf{Lara's semi-monthly deduction = }\frac{125.19}{2}\approx \$62.59[/tex]
