1) Find the percentage difference between 12% and 100%.

100-12= 88%

1a) Put the percentage in its decimal form.

88%/100= 0.88

2) Divide 17.60 by 0.88

17.60/0.88= 20

Therefore, the original price of the lamp is $20.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Original price of the lamp is $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference from 100-12, which gives us equal to 88. Then, you divide 100 to use decimal form, 88/100=0.88 or 100/100=1. Divide decimals from left to right. 17.60/0.88=20%. The original price of the lamp is 20, which is our answer.

I hope this helps!

Suppose that P(n) is a propositional function. Determine for which improper subset of the domain of n the statement P(n) must be
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

a) P(n) is true for all 'n' in the set ; { 0,2,4,6,8 ….. }

b) P(n) is true for all 'n' in the set ; { 0,1,2,3,4,5 ............ }

Step-by-step explanation:

a) As P(0) is true

we will assume that

  • P(2) is true
  • P(4) is true
  • P(6) is true

this simply means  that ;  P(n) is true for all 'n' in the set

{ 0,2,4,6,8 ….. }

b) since P(0) and P(1) are true

we will assume that

  • P( 0+2 ) = P(2)  is true

also P(1) and P(2) are true

we will assume that

  • P(1+2) = P(3)  is true

Also from the previous answers it can be seen that P(2) + P(3) is true

we will assume

  • P(2+2) = P(4)  is true

This simply means that P(n) is true for all 'n' in the set

{ 0,1,2,3,4,5 ............ }
