The total interest consumer pay on the credit card which has a daily interest rate of 0.042% is $32.08.

What is compound interest?

Compound interest is the amount charged on the principal amount and the accumulated interest with a fixed rate of interest for a time period.

The formula for the final amount with the compound interest formula can be given as,

[tex]A=P\times\left(1+\dfrac{r}{100}\right)^{t}\\[/tex]

Here, A is the final amount (principal plus interest amount) on the principal amount P of with the rate r of in the time period of t.

In the given problem,

  • A consumer charges a P, $2,530.16 purchase on a credit card.
  • The card has a daily interest rate r of 0.042%.
  • The balance is paid off at the end of 30 days. Thus the time t is 30.

Put these values in the above formula as,

[tex]A=2530.16\times\left(1+\dfrac{0.042}{100}\right)^{30}\\\\A=2562.24[/tex]

The interest amount paid is,

[tex]I=A-P\\I=2562.24-2530.16\\I=32.08[/tex]

Thus, the total interest consumer pay on the credit card which has a daily interest rate of 0.042% is $32.08.
