Answer: 80
Explanation:
4500-2500 is 2000 dollars reduction, or money paid off.
For every 250 dollars, there is a 10 points increase. 2000 divided by 250 is 8. There are 8 sets of 250 dollars. So, for every 250 dollars (you have 8 of them), 10 points increase. Therefore, you multiply 10 by 8.
10x8 = 80. Your credit score has increased by 80 points.
