To find out how many months until her card reaches or exceeds its limit, we need to determine how much of the credit limit she is using each month and then divide the credit limit by how much of it she is using each month.
Each month, Chanille charges $750 for clothes and pays back $300. This means she is adding $750 - $300 = $<<750-300=450>>450 to her card balance each month.
To find out how many months until her card reaches or exceeds its limit, we divide the credit limit of $6,000 by the amount she adds each month ($450).
Therefore, it will take her $6,000 / $450 = <<6000/450=13.333333333333333>>13.33 (rounding up) months until her card reaches or exceeds its limit.
So the answer is 14 months, not any of the other options listed.
