Josephine receives a bill from the hospital for 5000$. 50 percent of the bill is for medication. 25 percent of the remaining bill is for overnight stays, and 175$ is for food. The rest of the bill is for the ambulance ride. How much did the ambulance ride cost?
Use reasoning to answer the following question.
1700
Medication:5000(.

50) = 2500.

Overnight Stays:2500(.

25) = 625.

2500 - 625 = 1875.

Food:1875 - 175 = 1700$.

Ambulance ride:1700$.

.

So, the answer is 1700
