A couple agreed to split their expenses equally, including the salary of their house help. While doing her job, the house help had an accident; thus, she underwent a medical procedure which cost her $128. The couple decided to pay half of the medical expenses and the other half will be deducted from her $160 salary. If the husband paid for the entire half of the hospital bill, how much does he still need to pay so that they split the expenses for the house help equally?
How much would the couple pay for the hospital bill? ** The amount that the couple would cover for the hospital bill is $128/2 = $<<128/2=64>>64.
How much would the couple's total expenses be? ** The couple's total expenses (salary and hospital bill) is $160 + $64 = $<<160+64=224>>224.
How much would each of them give in total? ** So each of them should give $224/2 = $<<224/2=112>>112 in total.
How much does the husband still need to pay? ** Since the husband paid the entire half of the hospital bill already ($64), he still needs to pay $112 - $64 = $<<48=48>>48.
