Answer 1

the answer is D-$0.77, i need 20 characters for this to be answer so this is all extra.

Answer 2

D. $ 0.77

Explanation:

Given,

In card D,

Balance = $ 691.64,

Percentage of minimum monthly payment = 3.57%,

Thus, the minimum payment = 3.57% of 691.64

`=(3.57* 691.64)/(100)`

`=(2469.1548)/(100)`

≈ $ 24.69,

In card E,

Balance = $ 1,014.22,

Percentage of minimum monthly payment = 2.51%,

Thus, the minimum payment = 2.51% of 1014.22

`=(2.51* 1014.22)/(100)`

`=(2545.6922)/(100)`

≈ $ 25.46,

∵ Minimum payment in card E > Minimum balance in card D,

Thus, the difference between minimum balance in card E and minimum balance in D = 25.46 - 24.69 = $ 0.77

Hence, OPTION D is correct.
