Interest charged
You needed to buy new furniture for your dorm room at college, but unfortunately you didn't have the money to pay
for it up front. You decide to put $525 on your credit card to pay for a bedroom set, a desk and a mini fridge. On the
due date of the credit card, you were only able to pay the minimum payment of $25. This means you will have to pay
interest on the remaining balance you owe. Your credit card has an APR of 17%, and there were 30 days in the
billing period. Use the workspace below to calculate how much interest you will owe on your purchase.
