Answer:

B.3.00

Step-by-step explanation:

APR refers to the annual percentage of interest charged on credit.

If APR is 18%, the monthly interest payments will require obtaining a monthly rate.

The monthly rate = 18%/ 12 =1.5%

Monthly interest = p x r x t

where p=$200: r 1.5% or 0.015: t 1 month

=200 x0.015 x 1

=3
