Answer:

The new account balance is $889.44

Explanation:

Let us assume that this is a monthly statement and we have to find the total balance with one month's interest.

The unpaid balance in the account = $875

The monthly finance charge is 1.65% of the unpaid balance.

So, the monthly finance amount is =
0.0165*875=14.437 dollars.

Thus, the new account balance will be =
875+14.437=889.437 dollars or rounding to two decimal places we get $889.44.
