Answer:

$1,114.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Monthly periodic rate = 2.15% = 0.0215

current Charges = $189.34

Payment made = $100.00

Finance charge = $21.54

Now,

Previous balance = Finance charges ÷ Rate

= $21.54 ÷ 0.0215

= $1001.86

Unpaid balance = Previous balance + Current charges - Payment

= $1001.86 + $189.34 - $100.00

= $1091.2

New balance = Unpaid balance × ( 1 + Rate )

= $1091.2 × ( 1 + 0.0215)

= $1,114.66

Given Information in  the question:

  1. Monthly periodic rate = 2.15% = 0.0215
  2. Current Charges = $189.34
  3. Payment made = $100.00
  4. Finance charge = $21.54

Previous balance = Finance charges ÷ Rate  

  • Previous balance = $21.54 ÷ 0.0215  
  • Previous balance = $1001.86

Unpaid balance = Previous balance + Current charges - Payment  

  • Unpaid balance = $1001.86 + $189.34 - $100.00  
  • Unpaid balance = $1091.2

New balance = Unpaid balance × ( 1 + Rate )  

  • New balance= $1091.2 × ( 1 + 0.0215)  
  • New balance= $1,114.66

Blake's new balance is $1114.66.
