Will you please look at my work for the following problem and let me know if it is right? If not please explain.
Average cost of gas is estimated at $3.50 and food for family of 4 is $1252.20
4/1- $1000 beginning balance
4/3- $100. charged
4/20- $ 52.50 charge for gas 3.50*15 gallons
4/23-$400.00 PAYMENT APPLIED
4/27- $1252.20 food
4/30- end of billing period for month of April
3-1=2 * $1000= $2000.00
20-3=17 * 1100= 18700.00
23-20=3 * 1152.50= 3457.50
27-23=4 * 752.50= 3010.00
30-27=3 * 2004.7= 6014.10
So add 2000.00+18700.00+3457.50+3010.00+6014.10= 33181.60/30= $1106.05
3. In the month of April, your credit card (which is charging you 9.9% + the current prime interest rate) has a balance of $1000. On April 3rd you charge $100, then on April 20th you put 15 gallons of gas on the card. On April 23rd your payment of $400 arrives and is posted to your account. Finally, on April 27th you charge all of your food for the month for your family of 4.
