Jerrod owes $2000 on a credit card that charges him an annual percentage rate of 18%. If jerrod stopped making payments, how long would it be before the balance on his credit card reached $4000?.

Answer 1

It will take Jerrod 4 Years and 2 months to get his balance on his credit card $4000

In this question, it is stated that Jerrod owes $2000 on a credit card that charges him an Annual interest of 18%. If he stops making payments we have to find out how much time will it take for Jerrod to get his credit card balance to $4000.

Taking the annual interest rate of 18%,

first year's due payment will be => 2000 + (18*2000)/100 = $2360

Similarly, second year's due payment => 2360 + (18*2360)/100 = $2784.80

third year, the due payment will be => 2784.80 + (18*2784.80)/100  = $3286

Forth year, due payment => 3286 + (18*3286)/100 = 3877.48

At the beginning of the fifth year approximately 2 months the due payment will reach $4000.

Hence, it will take 4 years and 2 months for the amount to reach $4000.
