#include<iostream>

int main()
{
    string name;
    double cprice;
    int duration;
   
    cout<<"\nEnter name: ";
    cin>>name;
    cout<<"\nEnter current price: ";
    cin>>cprice;
    cout<<"\nEnter duration: ";
    cin>>duration;
   
    double retail_price;
    if(duration<=7)
        retail_price=1.20*cprice;
    else if(duration>7 && duration<=14)
        retail_price=1.15*cprice;
    else if(duration>14)
        retail_price=1.02*cprice;
       
    cout<<"\nName: "<<name;
    cout<<"\nCurrent price: "<<cprice;
    cout<<"\nDuration: "<<duration; 
    cout<<"\nRetail price: "<<retail_price;
    return 0;
