All right.
00:02
So in this problem, part of the figuring out is the fact that we have this biweekly amount.
00:12
So this biweekly amount.
00:14
What does biweekly mean? it means that we're taking this amount every two weeks.
00:20
So biweekly is every two weeks.
00:24
And so in the course of an entire year, since there are 52 weeks, that means that they're going to.
00:32
To be 26 paychecks or pay periods where this deduction is being taken.
00:40
So if we are looking to figure out how much this insurance costs over the entire year, then we want to know how much ruth has actually contributed.
00:52
And so we are going to take the amount deducted each pay period times 26, and that'll get us for the entire year that ruth gives $1 ,755.
01:14
But she's only contributing 18 % of the entire payment plan of that insurance.
01:23
And so what we want to know is what number is there, that 18 % of that number is equal to this $1 ,755...
