Katsumi applied for a credit card with a limit of $1,000. when the application was approved, katsumi bought a new cd player and speakers for $975. the credit card company offered to ignore the finance charges if katsumi makes the minimum monthly payment of $15. how many months will katsumi need to pay off the music system at this rate?

65 months

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Limit of the credit card = $1,000

Cost of the new CD player and speakers = $975

Minimum monthly payment made by Katsumi = $15

Now,

since there are no finance charges charged,

therefore,

the net payment that has to be made is $975

Therefore,

Months needed to pay off the rate

= [ Net payment amount ] ÷ [ Minimum monthly payment ]

= $975 ÷ $15 per month

= 65 months
