Question 5 • FowU - Financial Math - B

Fran is going to transfer her credit card balance over to a new card. She has an existing balance of $752.69. Her current card charges her a transfer fee of 12.5%, added to her balance, for transferring her debt. The new card has an opening fee of $50, which is also added to her balance. She will also have to make an immediate minimum payment, which is 3.35% of her total balance. How much will her balance be after she makes this payment, assuming that she pays the minimum amount? Round all dollar values to the nearest cent.

Answer
A
$866.74
B
$868.40
C
$818.41
D
$926.82

Explanation

The transfer fee is 12.5% of $752.69, which rounds to $94.09. Adding that fee and the $50 opening fee gives a total balance of $896.78. The 3.35% minimum payment is $30.04, so the remaining balance is $896.78 − $30.04 = $866.74. The correct choice is $866.74.
