Mark down in January = 15% of price in December

Mark down in January = $\frac{15}{100}*p$

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Let x be the smaller and y be the largest number.

Since x+y=13, we deduce y=13-x

Now, for the translation: "two more than the larger number" is y+2 , while "twice the smaller" is 2x

Their sum is y+2+2x

And since we know that y=13-x, we have y+2+2x=13-x+2+2=15+x

Mazyrski [523]

Answer: 2 months, Total cost= $72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denote the number of months then

For Club A fee= 28+22x

For Club B fee= 16+28x

Equating both we get

28 + 22x= 16+28x

28-16= 28-22x

12= 6x

x= 2

So after 2 months the fee will be same i.e. 28+22(2)= $72
