Suppose we have a card with an APR of 25%. The minimum payment is 7% of the balance. Suppose we have a balance of $350 on the credit card. We decide to stop charging and to pay it off by making the minimum payment each month.

Answer: Your welcome!

Explanation:

The new balance after the first minimum payment is made is $328.5. This is calculated by taking the balance of $350 and subtracting 7% of the balance, which is $24.50.

The minimum payment that is due the next month is $23.04. This is calculated by taking 7% of the new balance of $328.5.
