The minimum monthly payment on Card D is 3.57% of the total balance, and the minimum monthly payment on Card E is 2.51% of the total balance. How much greater is the minimum payment on Card E than on Card D? a. $18.85 b. $8.10 c. $11.24 d. $0.77
1) let's count the payment that you would do on the card E
2.51% of $1,014.22
percentage can be exchanged to numbers like this:
x%=x0.01, so 2.51 percent is 0.0251:
So now we multiply:
0.02511014.22=25.46
2) now let's count Card D payment:
3.57%691.64=0.0357691.64=24.69
and the difference is:
25.46-24.69=0.77
So the answer is D)!
