Let

C----------------- > charges for the purchases to the credit card

r------------------- > the interest rate

X------------------ > total cost of the purchase

we know that

C=4120

r= 22.45%=0.2245

X=C*(1+r)

substituting the values ​​in the formula

X=(4120)*(1+0.2245)= (4120)*(1.2245)=5044.94

the answer is $5044.94
