Kevin is an insurance salesman. when he sells a policy, he makes 20 percent of the policy premium (p) up front; then each year the policy is active, he receives 15 percent of the original premium. which equation could be used to figure his total commission on a policy that has been active for five years? c=0.80p c=0.20p + 0.15p c=0.35p + 4(0.15) c=0.95p

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."
