You are trying to decide between 2 credit cards. Credit card A has no annual fee
and an annual interest rate of 22.99%. Credit card B has an annual fee of $135 and an
annual interest rate of 18.99%.
a) To help you decide, determine the ‘equal-cost annual carried balance’:
At this annual carried amount, the card fees plus
interest are equal:
$
Card _____ is the better choice if my annual carried
balance amount is GREATER than:
$
Card _____ is the better choice if my annual carried
balance amount is LESS than:
What difference does compounding make?
You have a $10 000 debt. Calculate the interest and amount for each.

Reflection: What do you notice? What do you wonder?
You find a $50 USD bill in one of your parent’s old coats and they let you keep it.
You decide to spend it on a pair of pants that normally cost $59.99 but are on sale for 30%
off. Of course, you will also have to pay HST. How much change (if any) will you get from
the $50 USD bill?
