Question

Joey realizes that he has charged too much on his credit card and has racked up $5,000 in debt. If he can pay $150 each month and the card charges 18 percent APR (compounded monthly), how long will it take him to pay off the debt

Answer 1

47 months

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be calculated using a financial calculator :

I = 18% / 12 = 1.50%

PV = -5000

PMT = 150

FV = 0

N = 47 months
