I’m stuck need to show work if possible you

Both -8/18 and -17/27 are negative numbers and are thus less than 0, so on a number line they would appear to the left of 0, so we should only consider B and D as possible answers. Now is -8/18 is more than -17/27, this will mean that -8/18 will be located closer to 0 than -17/27 and so -8/18 would lie to the right of -17/27 - therefor the answer is D :)

$250 deductible means jane must pay the first $250 of her bill. so the insurance company paid = (80% of bill) - deductible = (0.8 x $2550) - $250 = $2040 - $250 = $1790 and jane's cost is = (bill) - (insurance payment) = $2550 - $1790 = $760
