What is a credit card?

A credit card refers to a small rectangular-shaped plastic card that is issued by a financial institution (banks) to its customers, which allows them to purchase goods and services on credit, especially based on the agreement that the amount of money taken would be paid later with an agreed upon interest rate.

How to calculate monthly payment.

Mathematically, the monthly payment for a credit card is given by this formula:

[tex]M=P(\frac{r}{1-(1+r)^{-nt}} )[/tex]

Where:

  • P is the principal.
  • r is the interest rate.
  • M is the monthly payment.
  • t is the time.
  • n is the number of times it's compounded.

In this scenario, Manny can reduce his current debt by spending less amount of money on both food and clothes while putting the money towards his credit card payment.
