From the information available, what is the difference between the payment app with the lowest charge, compared with a credit card charge?

A) $575

B) $1200

C) $1050

D) $480

E) $1237

Answer and Explanation:

Credit card processing firms charge an average of 3.5% and a flat fee of about 20 cents so we would make our comparison on this basis:

Since Faiz decides to use a company that has a monthly sales volume of $50,000 delivered over 100 equal transactions

The customer would pay $50000/100= $500 per instalment

Given the information I'm the table from question Instant wallet charges 3.5% +$0.20 for transactions lower than $1500

= 0.035*$500+$0.20=17.5+0.20=$17.7

An average credit card processing firms would charge :

0.035*500+$0.35=17.5+0.35= $17.85

Therefore instant wallet is cheaper and would save a customer =$17.85-17.7= $0.15
