Step-by-step explanation:

Good luck!

X=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

100 + 84 - 62x =494

184 - 62x =494

494-184 = -62x

310 =-62x

310/-62 =x

X= -5

Let us start with the percentage of premium paid by Javier. Since the employer pays 43%, the remaining 57% (100-43) is paid by Javier. Now let us find out how much is deducted from his paychecks during the year. In one month, $157.38 x 2 = $314 .76 is deducted by the employer. So in 12 months, the amount equal to 57% of the health premium will be $314.76 x 12 = $3777.12. If $ 3777.12 is 57% of a certain number, to find the number, multiply $3777.12 with the reciprocal of the fraction. (57/100) So the unknown number = $3777.12 * 100/57 = $6626.53 Javier's total annual health premium, therefore, is $6626.53
