To solve this problem, we need to calculate the interest charged on Melody's credit card balance using the previous balance method.Given information:- The opening balance of the billing cycle was 4800 for the remaining 15 days of the billing cycle.- The credit card's APR is 29%.Step 1: Calculate the daily interest rate.Daily interest rate = APR / 365Daily interest rate = 29% / 365 = 0.0795% per dayStep 2: Calculate the interest charged for the 15 days.Interest charged = Previous balance × Daily interest rate × Number of daysInterest charged = 0Therefore, the correct answer is C. $0.
