12 people were at the party.

You can choose 12 people to be one person, and 11 to be a person they are shaking hands with.  However, this allows us to choose person A, then person B, or Person B, then Person A.  We don't want to double-count this case, so we divide by 2.  12*11/2=66, so 12 works.

Toby goes on holiday to Geneva, Switzerland. In Geneva, Toby sees a watch costing 193.75 CHF (Swiss Francs). In Manchester, an i
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

The watch is cheaper in Geneva, Switzerland by a value of £20

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the city in which the watch is cheaper, what we need to do is to express the price of the watch in the same currency.

Since pounds is also used in the b part of the question, it would be easier working with it.

In Geneva, the price of the watch is 193.75 CHF

from our conversion formula;

£1 = 1.55 CHF

£x = 193.75 CHF

We cross multiply to get the value of x

(193.75 * 1)/1.55

= 193.75/1.55 = £125

We can see that the watch costs less in Geneva and higher in Manchester

By how much is it cheaper?

We can calculate this by subtracting the value in Geneva from the value in Manchester

That would be 145-125 = £20 cheaper

In a hotel, Elevator 1 stops at the third floor at an elevation of 40ft. Elevator 2 stops at the parking level at an elevation o
shtirl [24]

Answer:

65 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative and positive numbers can be expressed as how far away they are from zero.

40 is 40 units away from zero. Elevator 1 is 40 units from 0.

-25 is 25 units away from zero. Elevator 2 is 25 units from 0.

To find the distance, we'll add their distances from 0.

40 + 25 = 65

They are 65 units apart. In your problem you specify feet, so they are 50 ft apart.
