Question
Answer:
Answer: c. 110 daysExplanation:The formula to calculate the APR of a payday loan is:APR = (fees ÷ loan amount) × (365 ÷ term of the loan) × 100We know:APR = 50%fees = 30$loan amount = 200$term of the loan = xSubstituting the values:50 = (30 ÷ 200) × (365 ÷ x) × 10050 = 5475 ÷ x cross multiply50·x = 5475 divide by 50(50 ÷ 50)·x = 5475 ÷ 50x = 109.5Since we cannot have half of a day, the term of the loan will be 110 days.
