Twenty gremlins and fifteen imps are at the Annual Mischief Convention. The imps have had a lot of in-fighting lately and refuse

to shake hands with each other, but they readily shake hands with all of the gremlins. Meanwhile, all the gremlins are quite friendly and shake hands with all of the other gremlins as well as imps. Each pair of creatures shakes hands at most once. How many handshakes were at the convention?

Answer:   490

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first count the handshakes between two gremlins. There are $20$ gremlins, so there must be $\dfrac{20 \cdot 19}{2} = 190$ handshakes between two gremlins, making sure to divide by two to avoid over-counting.

Meanwhile, there are $15$ imps that shake hands with each of the $20$ gremlins, which makes $15 \cdot 20 = 300$ handshakes between imps and gremlins.

Adding them up, we have $300 + 190 = \boxed{490}$ total handshakes.

Answer:

490

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first count the handshakes between two gremlins. There are 20 gremlins, so there must be 20*19/2=190 handshakes between two gremlins, making sure to divide by two to avoid over-counting.

There are 15 imps that shake hands with each of the 20 gremlins, which makes 15* 20 = 300 handshakes between imps and gremlins.

Adding these up, you have $300 + 190 = 490 total handshakes.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

13.63%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the percent error is shown below;

= (Showing amount - first month amount) ÷ (Actual purchased)

= (1,800 - 1,500) ÷ (2,200)

= (300) ÷ (2,200)

= 13.63%

Hence, the percent error is 13.63%

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct percent error could come and the same is to be applied
