This insurance company will cover 85 percent of the hospital cost of 4000 USD ($textit{H}$), which can be computed as 0.15 x $textit{H}$.

Pedro had 3 doctor visits at 93 USD ($textit{D}$), which can be computed as 3 x $textit{D}$.

Thus, the total cost is $textit{C}$ = 0.15$textit{H}$ + 3$textit{D}$.
