Explanation:

Jackson has a previous balance of $767 on a credit card with a 16.5% APR compounded monthly. If he made a payment of $49 this month, what is the new balance on his credit card?

his APR per month will be 16.5% divided by 12 months, since 12 months makes a year

Previous Balance 767

Monthly Interest= .165 / 12 = 0.0135

monthly balance = 767

payment = 49

previous balance*monthly interest*previous balance-payment

767*0.0135*767-79

= $ 728.55 new balance
