To calculate the insurance company's payment, we need to find 80% of the bill amount after subtracting the deductible. To calculate Carol's total cost, we need to find the remaining percentage of the bill after the insurance company's payment.

Step 1: Subtract the deductible from the bill amount
$2,300.00 - $250.00 = $2,050.00

Step 2: Find 80% of the adjusted bill amount
80% of $2,050.00 = (80/100) * $2,050.00 = $1,640.00

Therefore, the insurance company's payment is $1,640.00.

Step 3: Calculate Carol's total cost by subtracting the insurance payment from the bill amount
$2,050.00 - $1,640.00 = $410.00

Therefore, Carol's total cost (ignoring the monthly premium) is $410.00.

2300 - 250 = 2050

80% of 2050

.8* 2050 = 1640

2050-1640 = 410

Carol paid $410
