Respuesta :

you would pay 500 for 4 months and then you would pay 264.96 in the last month so your answer would be 5

Answer:

5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, time-to-pay off formula for a credit card is,

[tex]n=\frac{log(\frac{M}{M-Pr})}{log(1+r)}[/tex]

Where, P is owing amount,

r is rate per period,

M is payment per period,

Here, P = $ 2,264.96,

M = $ 500.00 per month

APR = 14.7 % = 0.147 ⇒ r = [tex]\frac{0.147}{12}[/tex]

Hence, the number of months does it take to pay off the balance,

[tex]n=\frac{log(\frac{500.00}{500.00-2264.96\times \frac{0.147}{12}})}{log(1+\frac{0.147}{12})}[/tex]

[tex]=4.68894564931\approx 5[/tex]

Therefore, It will take approx 5 months to pay off the balance.
