What are they asking you to calculate?

All you have said is the amount of the payment, the balance and interest rate, and that they use the previous balance method.

Well that is the question.I really do not know.
Answered by MONICA
ok I came up with I=Prt =500(.20)(1/12)=$8.30 is this correct.
Answered by drwls
If what they want is the finance charge in the next billing cycle, that will be $450 * (0.20)/12 = $7.50

For the billing cycle of the current bill, the finance charge depends upon the previous unpaid balance. If that previous balance was $500, then your calculation is correct.
