Problem 10

In how many ways can he leave some (at least one) of his coins for a tip if (a) there are no restrictions? (b) he wants to have some change left? (c) he wants to leave at least 10 cents?

Problem 11

Prove or disprove each of the following: a) For sets \(A, B, C \subseteq q, A \cap C=B \cap C \Rightarrow A=B\). b) For sets \(A, B, C \subseteq q, A \cup C=B \cup C \Rightarrow A=B\). c) For sets \(A, B, C \subseteq ?,[(A \cap C=B \cap C) \wedge(A \cup C=B \cup C)] \Rightarrow A=B\). d) For sets \(A, B, C \subseteq q, A \Delta C=B \Delta C \Rightarrow A=B\). &\text { b) } A \cap(B \Delta C)=(A \cap B) \Delta(A \cap C) \\ &\text { c) } A \triangle(B \cup C)=(A \triangle B) \cup(A \triangle C) \\ &\text { d) } A-(B \cup C)=(A-B) \cap(A-C) \\ &\text { e) } A \Delta(B \triangle C)=(A \triangle B) \triangle C \end{aligned} $$
