Your credit card has a balance of $5200 and an annual interest rate of 18%. You decide to pay off the balance over three years. If there are no further purchases charged to the card, you must pay $187.99 each month, and you will pay a total interest of $1567.64. Assume you decide to pay off the balance over one year rather than three. How much more must you pay each month and how much less will you pay in total interest?\Use PMT = \frac{P\left(\frac{r}{n}\right)}{1-\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{-nt}} to determine the regular payment amount.\You will pay $ more each month.\(Round to the nearest cent as needed.)\You will pay $ less in total interest.\(Round to the nearest cent as needed.)

Use PMT = [P(r/n)] / [1 - (1 + r/n)^(-nt)] to determine the regular payment amount, rounded to the nearest dollar. Your credit card has a balance of $4300 and an annual interest rate of 12%. You decide to pay off the balance over five years. If there are no further purchases charged to the card, a. How much must you pay each month? b. How much total interest will you pay? a. The monthly payments are approximately $. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest dollar as needed.)
