Question

The balance on Taylor's credit card is $2000 it has an interest rate of 12.5% she wants to compare the difference between paying $75 and $100 of the monthly balance how much does she save in interest and fees if she pays $100 instead of $75?

Answer 1

Answer:

so she saved 82 cents in the interest the month after

Step-by-step explanation:

case 1: payment is $75

interest on 2000 = 0.125/12×2000 = $20.83

so the actual repayment on the balance = (75-20.83) = $54.17

therefore,balance =$(2000-54.7)=$1945.83

interest in the next month = $20.27

case 2: payment is $100

interest on 2000 is still $20.83

repayment = $79.73

balance = $1920.27

interest in the next month = 20.01

so she saved 82 cents in the interest the month after
