Read the short scenario and answer the question that follows. lisa's credit card balance this month is $969.16. her apr (annual percentage rate) is 15.24 %. the minimum payment due is $20.00. if she pays only the minimum each month and does not add any more charges, how long will it take her to pay off the entire balance?

76 months

Explanation:

If Lisa only pays the $20 minimum monthly payment, it will take her 76 months to repay her debt (6 years and 4 months). She will also end up paying almost $540 in interest.

If you have a credit card it is never a good idea to pay only the minimum monthly payment since you will end up paying a lot of interest and usually other fees and charges apply.

c is the correct answer.
