To determine how much Kim's insurance company will pay on the bill, let's break down the steps and calculations involved:
1. Determine the initial amount of the dental bill:
The total dental bill is \[tex]$248.
2. Subtract Kim's payment from the total bill:
Kim pays \$[/tex]25, so we subtract this from the total bill to find out how much remains.
[tex]\[
\text{Remaining amount} = \$248 - \$25 = \$223
\][/tex]
3. Calculate the insurance company's share:
The insurance company will pay [tex]\(\frac{3}{5}\)[/tex] of the remaining amount.
[tex]\[
\text{Insurance payment} = \frac{3}{5} \times 223
\][/tex]
4. Compute the final value for the insurance payment:
Multiplying [tex]\(\frac{3}{5}\)[/tex] by 223 gives us:
[tex]\[
\text{Insurance payment} = 133.79999999999998
\][/tex]
Therefore, the insurance company will pay approximately \$133.80 on the bill.
