    We are given with the following:

    Credit Card A: $1,154

    Credit Card B: $1,469

    18 months to pay the credit card balances

    Credit B introductory rate of 8% and transfer fee of $60

    Since Jose decides to pay off Credit Card B using his savings and then transfer the balance of Card A to the new card.

    He has enough savings to pay off all of the balance in Credit Card B and what's left is the balance in A. If the transfer costs $60 dollars, the new balance will be:

    $1154 + $60 = $1214

    Since the rate is 8%, the monthly payment will be

    1214 (1.08) / 12 = $71.80
