Respuesta :

Answer:

The amount of payment that needs to be applied to the debt balance to bring the debt to limit ratio to 15% is $2,250

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the card limit as $3,000

The card debit to limit ratio should be kept below 15%

Therefore, card limit of $3,000 = 100%

The protect FICA score card debt to limit ratio required required is 15% that is;

Maximum appropriate card debt is 15% of Max allowable card debt

Maximum appropriate card debt  = 15% of $3,000 = $450.00

Current debt on card = $3,000

Payment to be applied to the balance to pay it down to 15% is given by

[tex]\$3,000 - \frac{15}{100} \times \$3000 = \$3,000 - \$450 = \$2550[/tex]

Therefore a $2,550 payment will be applied to the balance to pay it down to 15%.
