Question

there are 50 peoples at a meeting. They each shake hands with everyone else. How many handshakes were there?​

Answer 1

2450

Exclude yourself as a group member then multiply the rest of the group by the whole group.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no. of people = 50

Total no. of handshake each person will make = 49 ( not counting himself/herself)

therefore , total number of handshake made by 50 people = 50 × 49
