Answer: 70.909090909091%
Step-by-step explanation: Reading through the problem we have <em>78 is</em>, that's 78 equals, <em>what percent</em>, x/100, <em>of 110</em>, times 110.
It's important to understand that <em>percent</em> means over 100 so what percent would simply mean <em>x/100</em> or any variable but I will be using x.
So we have the equation 
So cross canceling the 110 and 100 to 11 and 10, we have 
Multiply both sides by 10 to get rid
of the fraction and we have 780 = 11x.
Now divide both sides by 11 and 70.909090909091 = x.
So, 78 is 70.909090909091% of 110.

ANSWER: B)198
Have a great day!
1) This is a combination, so use ⁴⁰C₂.
⁴⁰C₂ = 780
There are 780 handshakes in total.
2) I got my solution by using the combinations formula. Or another way you could do this is to add up... 39 + 38 + 37 + 36 + 35 + 34 + 33 + 32 + 31... +1. You will end up with 780 (I did this to double check my work).
3) The quickest way to figure this out if Drake invited 1,000 people is to use the natural numbers formula = n(n+ 1)/2.
Plug the numbers in: 999(1000)/2 = 499,500
If Drake invited 1,000 people, there would be 499,500 handshakes.
Answer:
x>-2
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x+2<8
Subtract 2 from each side
-3x+2-2<8 -2
-3x < 6
Divide each side by -3. remembering to flip the inequality
-3x/-3 >6/-3
x>-2
