Step 1  If the shoe size in country A=x, then  The shoe size in country B=s(x)=x−12  If the shoe size in country B=x, then  The shoe size in country C=p(x)=x−1.8  Step 2  The shoe size in country A=x, then  The shoe size in country B=s(x)=x−12=t(say)  Then shoe size in country C=p(t)=t−1.8  Putting back the value of t, p(s(x))=x−12−1.8=x−5.8  Hence, if shoe size in country A is x, then shoe size in country B=x−13.8
