I missed class and I didn’t know how to calculate APR since I was only given a definition💀 anyways this helped me a lot on my homework

[@AuroraCelestialGlow]

Thank you! That was super clear and helpful.

Not getting it on my Care Credit because I agreed to a 60 month 17.90% APR but now they're saying it changed to 26.99 because balance not paid in full. So after just 2 weeks they've already charged almost $50 . That's even way more then 26.99%. It's almost 50% interest.

I'm finding APR really hard to understand. This example make sense. But for example, I saw yesterday on Amex that their platinum card has Representative 704.6% APR variable. How can it be so high? Does it mean if you borrow on this card you payback over 7x the principle? How can that be right. Please can someone enlighten me :)

Were at the bar, you say you need to borrow 75$, I say fine, pay me back next week and buy me a beer, excellent. Next week you pay me back the 75$ and buy me a beer ($4.20= 79.20) I just charged you 1614% APR.
Sixteen hundred and fourteen percent APR, 75$ loan over 7 days for a $4.20 fee. Now math, you got it 🎉

Thanks for the video. A clear explanation of APR.👍

[@2380Shaw]

My minimum month payment is $266 for 60 months supposedly 17.90% apr but now it's changed to 26.99% because balance not paid in full which I don't get because agreed to was 17.90%. But after just 2 weeks of my card purchase they've charged almost $50 on $10,495. So it's even way more then 26.99% apr

Utter nonsense as the example takes no account of the length (term) of the loan. If the finance charges were for a 2 year period it would be a quite different APR rather than a 1 year period.
