At a certain supplier, a machine of type A costs $20,000 and a machine of type B costs $45,000. Each machine can be purchased by making a 20 percent down payment and repaying the remainder of the cost and the finance charges over a period of time. If the finance charges are equal to 40 percent of the remainder of the cost, how much less would 2 machines of type A cost than 1 machine of type B under this arrangement?
Choose the correct choice from the following answers:  A) $10,000  B) $11,200  C) $12,000  D) $13,600  E) $13,200
1 machine of type B will cost: 20% down payment of 45,000 = 9,000plusremaining sum (50,000-9,000=41,000) with 40% of finance charges 41,000*1.4=57,400 --&gt; 9,000+57,400=66,400;   2 machine of type A will cost: 20% down payment of 2*20,000 = 8,000plusremaining sum (40,000-8,000=32,000) with 40% of finance charges 32,000*1.4=44,800 --&gt; 8,000+44,800=52,800;   Difference = 66,400 - 52,800 = 13,600.   Answer: $13,600.
