Question 5 • Financial Algebra/Mathematics

Jalen had to pay $⁢2,000 on his credit card for some home repairs, which has an APR of 16% Let n be the average daily balance and o the monthly finance charge. Which equation best determines o using the APR?

Answer
A
o=0.1612⋅n
B
o=0.16⋅n⋅30
C
o=0.16365⋅n⋅30
D
o=0.16⁢n

Explanation

Convert the 16% APR to a monthly rate by dividing by 12: 0.16 ÷ 12. Multiply that monthly rate by the average daily balance n, so the finance charge is o = (0.16 ÷ 12)n. Choice C, o = (0.16/12) · n, gives this equation.
