: please! could you help me again in these problems and i can no twork out these.
Items 26 and 27 are based on the following information.
Bank credit cards are a convenient and a popular method of payment. Annual interest rates for purchases that have been made with bank credit vary, however. In New York, bankA charges 10% interest, bank B 15% interest, bank C 16% interest, and bank D 18% interest. In addition, each bank charges a $ 25 annual fee for its card.
1) Bud charged a $588 couch on his card from bank B. If he pays for the couch in a year, how much interest will he pay?
2) Maria charged $29 and $84 on her card from bank D. If she plans to pay her balance in three months, what is the total she must pay?

Answer by Nate(3500)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the equation for interest is:
Y = A(1+r)^t
where y is the final amount
where a is the initial amount
where r is the rate
where t is the time in years
----------------------------------------------------------------
1) Bud charged a $588 couch on his card from bank B. If he pays for the couch in a year, how much interest will he pay?
y = 588(1.15)^1
y = 676.2
676.2-588=88.2
the interest would be $88.20
----------------------------------------------------------------
2) Maria charged $29 and $84 on her card from bank D. If she plans to pay her balance in three months, what is the total she must pay?
y = (29+84)(1.18)^(1/4)
y = (113)(1.18)^(1/4)
y = 117.77
117.77-113 = 4.77
the interest would be $4.77
-Attention-
these interests are not included with the annual fee for the card
