Answer:

B. $3.34

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Outstanding balance = $185.68

Monthly interest rate in decimal = 1.8% = 1.8/100 = 0.018

We can go ahead and determine the finance charge using the below formula;


\begin{gathered} \text{ Finance charge }=\text{ Outstanding balance x Monthly interest rate} \\ \text{Finance charge }=185.68*0.018=\text{ \$3.34} \\ \end{gathered}
