borrowing the $680 for 1 week at an APR of 450%, since Donnie will owe less interest this way than with the fee of $60

The better option would be borrowing $680 for 1 week with an APR of 450% because that is less than a flat fee of $60. The APR is the annual percentage rate, so even though the rate looks high, when broken down to what would be paid over the course of the week it's roughly 8% that is charged.
