Clare’s aunt used a credit card to pay $42 for an outfit. Six weeks later, the credit card company charged her 2% interest.
a. How much is the 2% interest?
b. How much will Clare’s aunt have to pay in total?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.84$ and 42.82$

Step-by-step explanation:

2% is equivalent to 2/100

So, 42$ x [tex]\frac{2}{100}[/tex] = 84/100 = 0.84$ (the 2% interest)

And the total the aunt has to pay equals to = 42$ + 0.84$ =42.84$
