The percentage is a string, which makes things a bit more difficult as you have to convert that to something you can use in a mathematical expression. Let's say InsurancePercent is of the form "###%". The process would be some variant of this:

var percent = Convert.ToDouble(patient.InsurancePercentage.TrimEnd('%'));
var insuredAmount = patient.AmountDue * (percent / 100);

Console.WriteLine("Insured Amount: " + insuredAmount);
