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!

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The percent of the increase for the money the class raised is 10 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Because if you divide 1500 by 10 you get 150 that means 150 is 10 % of 1500 and if you add 150 to 1500 you get 1650 so the increase of money the class raised is 10 %

I hope this helped :)

When working with the square root of a number, when would you have only a positive answer and when would you have both a positiv
Rama09 [41]
<span>Lets make it clear: You would have a positive answer when the value you are looking for has to be a positive number. On the other hand you would have a positive and a negative answer when you take the square root of something that doesn't have to be positive. it could be either because when a negative number is squared it becomes positive and when a positive number is squared it stays positive as well.</span>
