8. When starting your credit history, a low-credit-limit, high-interest-rate credit card should be paid in full, on time, every time. You don't want to pay interest, and you want to build a good payment history. If you can't pay it in full, pay as much as you can, to minimize the interest charges.

9. APY means annual percentage yield

12. $8.25 x 35 x 3 = $866.25 gross pay. 7.65% + 13% + 9% = 29.65%, so 100%-29.65% or 70.35% of your gross pay will be your net pay. $866.25 x 70.35% = $609.41
