Keyla Rowland · Answer 1

To find the interest charged in a typical month we need to multiply the typical balance by the interest she has to pay, in this case 16%. 750*16% remember that you can express any percentage as a fraction dividing the percentage by 100%, therefore 16% = 16%/100% which is 16/100. Now we can rewrite our original multiplication as 750 * (16/100) = 120. We conclude that Lucy has to pay in a typical month $120 in interest.
