Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the people be represented by numbers (1,2,3,4,5)

-- now 1 shakes hands with the remaining 4, (i.e 2,3,4,5)

-- 2 shakes hands with the remaining 3 (i.e 3,4,5) as it has already shaken hands with 1

-- 3 shakes hands with the remaining two  and so on

If you recognize the pattern there are 4+3+2+1 handshakes that have taken place, or 10 handshakes

nordsb [41]

Answer:

4.12=2.45c+1.65c

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given,

Cameron buys 2.45 pounds of apple and 1.65 pounds of pears.

Also, the cost of apples and pears is 'c' dollars per pound.

Thus, the cost of 2.45 pounds of apple is 2.45c dollars and the cost of 1.65 pounds of pear is 1.65c dollars.

Since, the total cost after using a coupon is $4.12.

So, we get the equation representing the situation is,

Total cost = Total cost of apples + Total cost of pears.

i.e. 4.12=2.45c+1.65c

i.e. 4.12=4.1c

i.e. c=\frac{4.12}{4.1}

i.e. c = 1 dollar

Hence, the required equation to find c is 4.12=2.45c+1.65c.
