Challenge The bakery manager at the grocery store decides to have a 12% off sale on all bread. You decide to purchase 5 loaves of bread. Let b be the original price of a loaf of bread. Expand the
expression 5(b -0.12b). What do the terms of the expansion represent?
Which expression represents the correct expansion?

Match each equation with the operation you can use to solve for the variable. subtract 10. divide by 10. divide by 5. subtract 18. multiply by 10. add 18. add 10. multiply by 5. 5 = 10p arrowright p + 10 = 18 arrowright p + 18 = 5 arrowright 5p = 10 arrowright

Asays "we are both knaves" and b says nothing. exercises 24–31 relate to inhabitants of an island on which there are three kinds of people: knights who always tell the truth, knaves who always lie, and spies (called normals by smullyan [sm78]) who can either lie or tell the truth. you encounter three people, a, b, and c. you know one of these people is a knight, one is a knave, and one is a spy. each of the three people knows the type of person each of other two is. for each of these situations, if possible, determine whether there is a unique solution and determine who the knave, knight, and spy are. when there is no unique solution, list all possible solutions or state that there are no solutions. 24. a says "c is the knave," b says, "a is the knight," and c says "i am the spy."
