Answer:

The office want to charge for the procedure is $2057.

Step-by-step explanation:

Their plan says that according to their plan their allowed amount is 7/8 of what the doctor's office charges.

Of that amount they will pay 5/6, and Ross will pay 1/6 out of pocket.

To Find: If Ross had to pay $300 then how much did the office want to charge for the procedure?

Solution:

Let the office want to charge for the procedure be x

Since we are given that allowed amount is 7/8 of what the doctor's office charges.

⇒\(\frac{7}{8} x\)

We are also given that Ross will pay 1/6 out of pocket.

⇒\(\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{7}{8} x\)

We are given that Ross had to pay $300
