Using an online loan calculator, the total cost of repaying a $750 credit card loan with a 17.99% interest rate compounded monthly and a fixed monthly payment over a period of 9 months is approximately $833.
Apologies for the oversight. Rounding the answer to the nearest dollar, the total cost of repaying the $750 credit card loan would be approximately $834.
I apologize for the incorrect response. Let me recalculate the total cost for repaying a $750 credit card loan with a 17.99% interest rate compounded monthly and a fixed monthly payment over 9 months.
Using the formula for the future value of an ordinary annuity:
FV = P * [(1 + r)^n - 1] / r
Where:
FV = Future value (total cost of repayment)
P = Principal amount (loan amount)
r = Monthly interest rate
n = Number of periods (months)
In this case:
P = $750
r = (17.99/100) / 12
n = 9
Plugging in these values into the formula:
FV = 750 * [(1 + ((17.99/100) / 12))^9 - 1] / ((17.99/100) / 12)
FV ≈ 750 * [1.01499^9 - 1] / 0.01499
FV ≈ 750 * [1.15386 - 1] / 0.01499
FV ≈ 750 * [0.15386] / 0.01499
FV ≈ 750 * 10.2599
FV ≈ 7694.925
Rounding the answer to the nearest dollar, the total cost of repaying the $750 credit card loan over 9 months would be approximately $7695.
Apologies for any confusion caused by the initial incorrect responses.
Apologies for the confusion caused by my previous incorrect responses. Here is the corrected calculation:
To calculate the total cost of repaying the $750 credit card loan over 9 months with a 17.99% interest rate compounded monthly, we need to use the formula for the future value of an ordinary annuity:
FV = P * [(1 + r)^n - 1] / r
Where:
FV = Future value (total cost of repayment)
P = Principal amount (loan amount)
r = Monthly interest rate

FV = 750 * [(1 + (0.1499))^9 - 1] / (0.1499)
FV = 750 * [(1.1499)^9 - 1] / 0.1499
FV = 750 * (1.804503127 - 1) / 0.1499
FV = 750 * 0.804503127 / 0.1499
FV = 402.37709525 / 0.1499
FV ≈ 2684.79
Rounding the answer to the nearest dollar, the total cost of repaying the $750 credit card loan over 9 months with a 17.99% interest rate compounded monthly, would be approximately $2685.
