d.

500%

Verified Answer :

Answer:

The correct answer is D. 500%

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of Loan = $985

Total fees paid = $135

Term of loan = 10 days

  • First divide the amount of loan by total fees paid :

\(=\frac{985}{135}\\\\=0.137\)

  • Now, multiply the result by 365 :

= 0.137 × 365

=  50.03

  • Divide the result obtained by term of loan that is 10 days :

\(=\frac{50.03}{10}\\\\=5.003\)

  • Now, multiply this by 100 to get the final APR :

= 5.003 × 100

= 500%

Hence, The correct answer is D. 500%
