Answer:

45 handshakes

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are n persons and each person shakes every other person hand once then the total number of handshakes are \frac{n(n-1)}{2}

Now, it has been given that 10 people meet, and each person shakes every other person's hand once.

Therefore, n = 10.

Hence, from the above mentioned formula, we have

Total number of handshakes =

\frac{n(n-1)}{2}

=\frac{10(10-1)}{2}

=\frac{10\times9}{2}

=5\times9

=45

Hence, total 45 handshakes were occurred.

A clearance rack is marked as 60% off the regular price to be taken at the register. If a jacket on the clearance rack is marked
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

$399.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Mark down percent = 60%

Mark down price = $239.99

Required

Original price of the rack

Let x be the original price of the product. The equation to get x is as expressed below;

60% of x = 239.99

0.6x = 239.99

x = 239.99/0.6

x = 399.98

Hence the rack will ring up for $399.98 at the register
