Now write a program that calculates the minimum fixed monthly payment needed in order pay off a credit card balance within 12 months. By a fixed monthly payment, we mean a single number which does not change each month, but instead is a constant amount that will be paid each month.

In this problem, we will not be dealing with a minimum monthly payment rate.

The following variables contain values as described below:

balance - the outstanding balance on the credit card

annualInterestRate - annual interest rate as a decimal

The program should print out one line: the lowest monthly payment that will pay off all debt in under 1 year, for example:

Lowest Payment: 180
Assume that the interest is compounded monthly according to the balance at the end of the month (after the payment for that month is made). The monthly payment must be a multiple of $10 and is the same for all months. Notice that it is possible for the balance to become negative using this payment scheme, which is okay. A summary of the required math is found below:

Monthly interest rate = (Annual interest rate) / 12.0
Monthly unpaid balance = (Previous balance) - (Minimum monthly payment)
Updated balance each month = (Monthly unpaid balance) + (Monthly interest rate x Monthly unpaid balance)

The code you paste into the following box should not specify the values for the variables balance or annualInterestRate - our test code will define those values before testing your submission.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main()
{
float balance; //Número
float epsilon = 0.001; //Exactitud buscada
float AIR;//annual Interest rate
float MMP=10;//minimum montly payment
float mub;//montly unpaid balance
float mir;// montly interest rate
int i=1;

/*printf("Balance: ");scanf("%d",&balance);//pedimos el balance
printf("Annual Interest Rate: "); scanf("%d",&AIR); //pedimos el annual interest rate

while ((MMP*12)-balance>=epsilon && (MMP*12)<=balance)
{
while(i<12)
{
mir=AIR/12.0;// sacamos el montly interest rate
mub=balance-MMP;//el balance disminuye conforme lo que se paga
balance= mub + (mir*mub);//cambiamos el valor del balance al sumarle interes
i+=1;//aumentamos el contador a 1
}
MMP+=10;

printf("Lowest payment %f", MMP);

return 0;
