I got a different answer.

(295 * 1.04) + 75 = ?
Assuming finance is 4% per month (48% p.a., illegal in some provinces)
$295*4%+75
=$381.80

However, the calculation of interest charges on a credit card is not that simple. Usually when the client does not pay by the deadline, interest is calculated as of the purchase date, which can be anything from 1 to 3 weeks prior to the expiry date.
thank you :)))))
