A. Do I divide...?

No. Don't divide. Multiply.

0.2 * 345 = ?

To find the dollar figure that Marissa's family will have to pay, you need to subtract the amount covered by the health insurance from the total bill amount.

First, calculate the amount covered by the insurance. Since the insurance will pay 80% of the bill, multiply the total bill amount ($345) by 80% (0.80). This can be done by multiplying the bill amount by 0.80: $345 * 0.80 = $276.

Next, subtract the amount covered by the insurance from the total bill amount: $345 - $276 = $69.

Therefore, Marissa's family will have to pay $69.
