David has 3 credit cards: a Passport card, an EverywhereCard, and an American local card. He owes a balance on all three cards. Does he owe the greatest balance on the Everywhere card?
1) The sum of the balances on his EverywhereCard and American Local card is $1350, which is three times the balance on his passport card.
2) The balance on his EverywhereCard is 4/3 of the balance on his Passport card and 4/5 of the balance on his American Local card.

let passport card = p ; everywhere card = e , and American card = a
Target question= Does he get owe the greatest balance on everywhere card.
$$i.e\ e>a\ and\ e>p\ ?$$
Statement 1
The sum of the balances on his everywhere cared and American card is $1350 and 3times the balances on his passport card.
eta=$350 and $1350=3p $$p=\frac{1350}{3}=450$$
if e=1000 and a=350 then e is the greatest of all definite value of e and a is unknown some target question cannot be evaluated statement 1 is NOT SUFFICIENT.
Statement 2
The balance on his everywhere card is 4/3 of the balance on his passport and 4/5 of the balance on his American Local card.
i.e e is 4 out of 3p's = e>p
e is 4 out of 5a's = e<a
$$p<e<a,\ David\ owe\ the\ greatest\ \ balance\ on\ the\ America\ local\ \ \ card\ \ and\ not\ on\ the\ \ everywhere\ card\ and\ Statement\ 2\ \ alone\ is\ SUFFICIENT$$
