Is the answer C - 3600?

Set up an equation for the amount paid by the employee

P = 450 + 0.2x,

where x is the loss amount above $450. Then set this equation equal to the maximum employee payment to figure out the value of x required for the employee to max out his payments

450 + 0.2x = 1350
0.2x = 900
x = 4500

So we know that there must be a loss of $4500 for the employee to max out his payment. In this case, the plan would pay 80% of losses over $450, so

0.8 * x = 0.8 * 4500 = $3600.

1350-450 = 900

900$ = 20% then the 80% are paid by the plan.
(900/0.2) * 0.8 = 3600$


=> Answer C

450 + 0.2x =1350

the insurance will pay 80% of x

solving for x and substituting in 0.8x
= 3600

C
