Step 1 ：Given that the balance on the credit card is $3000, the APR is 12%, and the time to pay off is 3 years, we need to calculate the monthly payments.

Step 2 ：To do this, we use the formula for the monthly payment on a loan: \(P = \frac{r \times PV}{1 - (1 + r)^{-n}}\), where \(P\) is the monthly payment, \(r\) is the monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12), \(PV\) is the present value or principal amount, and \(n\) is the number of payments (3 years * 12 months/year).

Step 3 ：Substituting the given values into the formula, we get \(P = \frac{0.01 \times 3000}{1 - (1 + 0.01)^{-36}}\).

Step 4 ：Calculating the above expression, we find that the monthly payment is approximately $99.64.

Step 5 ：\(\boxed{99.64}\) is the final answer.
