Question

If the typical balance on Lucy's credit card is $650 and the interest rate (APR) on her credit card is 18%, how much in interest would you expect Lucy to be charged in a typical month?

Answer 1

(18%\12)x650=9.75 18 divide by 12 times 650

Answer 2

General Idea:

`Amount \; Charged \; in \; a \; Month \; = \; Monthly \; Interest \; Rate \; * Typical \; Creditcard\; Balance\\ \\`

`Amount \; Charged \; in\; a\; month =(18\%)/(12) * 650 \; = 0.015*650=9.75`

Conclusion:

Amount of interest that Lucy to be charged in a typical month is $9.75
