Credit utilization = balance / credit limit. So required credit limit = balance / target utilization.

With a $3,450 balance:
- For a 30% (commonly “acceptable”) utilization: limit ≥ 3,450 / 0.30 = $11,500.
- For a 20% utilization: limit ≥ 3,450 / 0.20 = $17,250.
- For a 10% (excellent) utilization: limit ≥ 3,450 / 0.10 = $34,500.

If you tell me what “acceptable” means to you (e.g., 30% or 10%), or give the answer choices you have, I can pick the exact option.
