Question 2 • Modern Math KHS

You have just graduated from college and purchased a car for $7000. Your credit limit is $12,000. Assume that you make no payments and purchase nothing more and that there are no other fees. The monthly interest rate is 8%. What is the growth factor of your credit card balance?

Answer
A
1.02
B
1.8
C
1.08
D
1.2

Explanation

A monthly interest rate of 8% means the balance is multiplied by 1 + 0.08 each month. The growth factor is therefore 1.08, regardless of the initial $7,000 balance or the credit limit. Choice C, 1.08, is correct.
