Expert Solution
Step 1

Given Data:

For the first condition:

The percentage off on the amount is: P1=20%

The original price for a book is: A1=$19.99

For the second condition:

The percentage off on the amount is: P2=10%

The original price for a book is: A2=$17

For the first condition,

The discounted price of the book is,

X1=A1-A1P1

Substitute the values in the above equation.

X1=19.99-19.9920%=19.99-19.990.2=19.99-3.998=$15.992
