Answer:

The no. of possible handshakes takes place are 45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : There are 10 people in the party .

To Find: Assuming all 10 people at the party each shake hands with every other person (but not themselves, obviously) exactly once, how many handshakes take place?

Solution:

We are given that there are 10 people in the party

No. of people involved in one handshake = 2

To find the no. of possible handshakes between 10 people we will use combination over here

Formula : ^nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

n = 10

r= 2

Substitute the values in the formula

^{10}C_{2}=\frac{10!}{2!(10-2)!}

^{10}C_{2}=\frac{10!}{2!(8)!}

^{10}C_{2}=\frac{10 \times 9 \times 8!}{2!(8)!}

^{10}C_{2}=\frac{10 \times 9 }{2 \times 1}

^{10}C_{2}=45

No. of possible handshakes are 45

Hence The no. of possible handshakes takes place are 45.

Kayla needs $14,000 worth of new equipment for his shop. He can borrow this money at a discount rate of 10% for a year.
arlik [135]

Answer:

$15400

Step-by-step explanation:

Principle amount, P = $14000

Time, T = 1 year

Rate of interest, R = 10%

We know that maturity amount,

A = P\left (1+\frac{R}{100} \right )^{n}

where n is number of years

A = P\left (1+\frac{R}{100} \right )^{n}

A = 14000\left (1+\frac{10}{100}\right )^{1}

A = 14000\left (1+\frac{1}{10}\right )

A = 14000\left (\frac{11}{10}\right )

A = 15400

The maturity amount is $15400
