The point is not stating the answer, but to state how you arrived at it. How did you get the answer?

Hi, this is the method I followed:

1. find 2A-B first, which is 10,000 -> this step will eliminate 4 unnecessary steps.

2. 20% for 10,000 = 2000
3. remainder is 8000
4. 40% of 8000 is 3200

total excess is 2000+8000+3200 = 13200.

Or you can use this method -

A = 20000, B = 50000
Finance cost = 40%
Downpayment = 20%
Amount left = 80% of original price

A = (40/100) * (80/100) * 40000 = 12800
B = (40/100) * (80/100) * 50000 = 16000

Total cost of Machine A = 52800
Total cost of Machine B = 66000

Difference = 66000 - 52800 = 13200

4000 + 0.4*16000 + 16000 = 26400 = 52800
10000+0.4*40000+ 40000 = 66000
66000-52800 = 13200

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
