Answer:

Option A - $83.39

Explanation:

Given : Lanny’s credit card has an APR of 33%, calculated on the previous monthly balance. His credit card record for the last 7 months is shown in the table below.

To find : What is the new balance at the end of month 7?

Solution :

From the table, the information of 7 month

Previous balance = $74.33

Payment = $91.98

Unpaid balance = Previous balance - Payments

= $74.33 - $91.98

Unpaid balance = -$17.65

Finance charge = $2.04

New charges = $99

New balance = Unpaid balance + finance charge + new charges

New balance = -$17.65 +$2.04+ $99

New balance =$83.39

Therefore, Option A is correct.
