Answer :

To determine the amount of credit Pavi currently has available on his card, we need to follow these steps:

1. Identify Pavi's credit line:
Pavi's credit line is given as [tex]$8,000. 2. Identify the new balance: The new balance from Pavi's credit card statement is given as $[/tex]4,007.50.

3. Calculate the available credit:
The available credit can be calculated by subtracting the new balance from the credit line.
[tex]\[ \text{Available Credit} = \text{Credit Line} - \text{New Balance} \][/tex]
Substituting the values:
[tex]\[ \text{Available Credit} = 8000 - 4007.50 \][/tex]

4. Perform the subtraction:
[tex]\[ \text{Available Credit} = 3992.50 \][/tex]

Therefore, the amount of credit Pavi currently has available on this card is [tex]\( \$3,992.50 \)[/tex].

The correct answer is:
A. $3,992.50
