What is a credit card?

A credit card is a payment card offered to users to enable the cardholder to pay a merchant for goods and services based on the cardholder's incurred debt.

The given data in the problem is;

Time period = 4 years

Increase rate for card p= 10. 19%,

principal for card P= $726. 19

principal for card Q =  $855. 20

Increase rate for card Q= 8. 63%

The value obtained after the interest is commutative balance.

total cumulative balance in Card P = $1080.70

total cumulative balance in Card Q= $1,206.28.

Card P has a total cumulative balance of $1080.70 during the last four years, whereas Card Q has a total accumulated balance of $1,206.28.

When the principal is removed from the cumulative value, Card P would have earned more interest than Card Q based on the principal outlay.

Intreast for card P  = $1080.70- $726.19 = $354.51

Intreast for card Q= $1206-$854.92=$351.08

The interest over the four years would be $354.51 and $351.08, respectively,

Hence option C is correct. Card P’s balance increased by $3. 43 more than Card Q’s balance.
