Answer :

To determine how much credit Pavi currently has available on his credit card, follow these steps:

1. Identify the total credit limit:
- Pavi's credit line is \[tex]$8,000. 2. Understand the components of the new balance: - Previous balance: \$[/tex]2,500.00
- Payments/Credits: \[tex]$1,500.00 - New Purchases: \$[/tex]3,000.00
- Finance Charge: \[tex]$7.50 3. Calculate the new balance: - Start with the previous balance: \$[/tex]2,500.00
- Subtract the payments/credits: \[tex]$2,500.00 - \$[/tex]1,500.00 = \[tex]$1,000.00 - Add the new purchases: \$[/tex]1,000.00 + \[tex]$3,000.00 = \$[/tex]4,000.00
- Add the finance charge: \[tex]$4,000.00 + \$[/tex]7.50 = \[tex]$4,007.50 Thus, the new balance is \$[/tex]4,007.50.

4. Calculate the available credit:
- Subtract the new balance from the total credit limit: \[tex]$8,000.00 - \$[/tex]4,007.50 = \[tex]$3,992.50 Therefore, the amount of credit Pavi currently has available on his card is \$[/tex]3,992.50.

So, the correct answer is:
A. \$3,992.50
