        boolean shipping =  !(purchase >= 50) || !!onSale ;
which can be further transformed to 
    boolean shipping = purchase < 50 || onSale ;

boolean discount = !( (days < 14) && onSeason );

Question 17:
Rewrite this expression in two steps. In the first step, apply De Morgan's rule that !(A && B) is equivalent to !A || !B.
    boolean discount =  
In the second step, rewrite the relational expression: 
    boolean discount =
