A patient receives a 15% discount for a visit to the healthcare provider. The total charge for the medical services today is $532.00. How much will the patient pay in full today?

  • A. $452.20
  • B. $79.80
  • C. $80.80
  • D. $475.97
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Correct Answer: A ($452.20)

Rationale: To calculate the amount the patient will pay after a 15% discount, you first find 15% of $532.00, which is $79.80. Then, subtract this discount from the total charge: $532.00 - $79.80 = $452.20. Therefore, the patient will pay $452.20 in full today.

Summary:
- Choice B ($79.80) is the amount of the 15% discount, not the total payment.
- Choice C ($80.80) is close to the discount amount but does not consider the subtraction.
- Choice D ($475.97) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation after the discount.
