What is the total cost of repaying the loan to the nearest dollar?
Apologies for the confusion. Let's calculate the total cost of repaying the loan correctly.
Principal: $750
Interest Rate: 17.99% (or 0.1799 as a decimal)
Loan Period: 9 months
First, let's calculate the monthly interest rate:
Monthly Interest Rate = 0.1799 / 12 = 0.0149925
Next, let's calculate the monthly payment using the loan calculator:
Monthly Payment = (Principal * Monthly Interest Rate) / (1 - (1 + Monthly Interest Rate)^(-Loan Period))
Monthly Payment = (750 * 0.0149925) / (1 - (1 + 0.0149925)^(-9))
Monthly Payment ≈ 101.68
Now, let's calculate the total cost of repaying the loan:
Total Cost = Monthly Payment * Loan Period
Total Cost = 101.68 * 9
Total Cost ≈ 915.12
Rounding the total cost of repaying the loan to the nearest dollar, the answer is $915.

still wrong
To determine the total cost of repaying the loan, we can use the formula:
Total Cost = (Monthly Payment * Number of Payments) - Principal
First, let's calculate the monthly payment using the loan amount, interest rate, and loan period:
Principal: $750
Interest Rate: 17.99% (or 0.1799 as a decimal)
Loan Period: 9 months
Monthly Interest Rate = 0.1799 / 12 = 0.0149925
Using the loan calculator, we can determine the monthly payment for a loan of $750 with a 17.99% interest rate compounded monthly over a period of 9 months:
Monthly Payment = $95
Now, let's calculate the total cost of repaying the loan:
Total Cost = ($95 * 9) - $750
Total Cost = $855 - $750
Total Cost = $105
Therefore, 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 $105.
I apologize for the mistake. Let me recalculate.
To calculate the total cost of repaying the loan, we need to calculate the interest and add it to the principal.
Principal: $750
Interest Rate: 17.99% (or 0.1799 as a decimal)
Loan Period: 9 months
First, let's calculate the monthly interest rate:
Monthly Interest Rate = 0.1799 / 12 = 0.0149925
Next, let's calculate the monthly payment using the loan calculator:
Monthly Payment = (Principal * Monthly Interest Rate) / (1 - (1 + Monthly Interest Rate)^(-Loan Period))
Monthly Payment = (750 * 0.0149925) / (1 - (1 + 0.0149925)^(-9))
Monthly Payment = 13.48
Now, let's calculate the total cost of repaying the loan:
Total Cost = Monthly Payment * Loan Period
Total Cost = 13.48 * 9
Total Cost = 121.32
Rounding the answer to the nearest dollar, 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 $121.
I apologize for the errors in my previous responses. Let me recalculate correctly this time.
To calculate the total cost of repaying the loan, we need to calculate the interest and add it to the principal.

Monthly Payment = (750 * 0.0149925) / (1 - (1 + 0.0149925)^(-9))
Monthly Payment = 101.53
Now, let's calculate the total cost of repaying the loan:
Total Cost = Monthly Payment * Loan Period
Total Cost = 101.53 * 9
Total Cost = 913.77
Rounding the answer to the nearest dollar, 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 $914.
