  9. Insurance! Tad’s medical insurance policy is similar to that of many workers. His policy requires that he pay the first $100 of medical expenses each calendar year (deductible). After the deductible is paid, he pays 20% of the medical expenses up to 600 dollars each year. After that the insurance company pays 100%. Tad just broke his toe and received a bill of $575. • How much does Tad owe? • How much will the insurance company cover?

  10. Grades Al’s first six test grades are 92, 88, 85, 83, and 82. • Find Al’s average test grade. • If one last test is given what grade must all get to receive a B average? • Can Al still earn an A average?
