Answer 2

63.19%

Step-by-step explanation:

Credit account balance = $2,350

Amount paid = $865

Balance unpaid = $2,350 - $865

= $1,485

The percentage of your original balance left is given by the ratio of amount left to the original balance expressed as a percentage.

percentage of your original balance left = ($1,485 /$2,350) × 100%

= 63.19%
