We need to calculate the average balance per day.

In this case, the billing period has 31 days and Sandras has an unpaid balance of $720 during 28 days and unpaid balance of $720-$400=$320 during 3 days, so the average balance is:


\text{average balance=}((720\cdot28+320\cdot3))/(31)=(21120)/(31)=681.29
