If you earn $8 per hour after taxes are taken out of your paycheck and your insurance is $200 a month, how many hours will you have to work to pay for insurance?

Insurance is an agreement in which you pay a company money and they pay your costs if you have an accident, injury, etc. So, you are working in a company and you are making money. You have a hourly contract, thus, you earn $8 per hour after taxes are taken out of your payment. You have an insurance that costs $200 a month.

Therefore, you need to find the numbers of hours you must work to pay for insurance right? Next to solve this problem we have a simple rule of three, hence:



Then you must work 25 hours to pay for insurance.
