what is the difference between multiplying fractions and adding/subtracting fractions? complete sentances pleaseo

See explaination for answer! Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying and deviding, you are raising them or lowering them by a certain degree, but adding or subtractions is just combining two fractions.

Just to quickly explain the "combining" aspect, during subraction, you are combining a positive with a negative.

class CreditCardBill

{

public static void main(String[] args)

{

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

NumberFormat defaultFormat = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.US);

System.out.println("CS Card International Statement");

System.out.println("");

System.out.print("Previous Balance: $");

double prevBalance = sc.nextDouble();

System.out.print("Additional Charges: $");

double addCharges = sc.nextDouble();

double interest;

if(prevBalance == 0)

interest = 0;

else

interest = (prevBalance + addCharges) * 0.02;

System.out.println("Interest: "+defaultFormat.format(interest));

double newBalance = prevBalance + addCharges + interest;

System.out.println("New Balance: "+defaultFormat.format(newBalance));

double minPayment;

if(newBalance < 50)

minPayment = newBalance;

else if(newBalance <= 300)

minPayment = 50.00;

else

minPayment = newBalance * 0.2;

System.out.println("Minimum Payment: "+defaultFormat.format(minPayment));

}

}
