11.
Every handshake takes 2. If no one shakes hands twice with another, there are 10+1 total people shaking hands (11).

Name them 1 thru 11. Make a line and 11 goes down the line and shakes 10 hands and then leaves. 10 then shakes 9 hands and leaves. 8 then shakes 7 hands and leaves. Etc. 2 shakes hands with 1 and leaves. 1 just leaves.

11— 10 hs

10— 9 hs

9— 8 hs

8— 7 hs

7— 6 hs

6— 5 hs

5— 4 hs

4— 3 hs

3— 2 hs

2— 1 hs

1— leaves

Total handshakes 55, total people 11.

If you bought something in Colorado for $80, you would be charged $2.32 in state sales tax. What is the state sales tax in Color
REY [17]


The state sales tax in Colorado is 2.9%.

We know that because we divide 2.32/80. We have to find out what percent the tax is of the amount paid. The answer comes to 0.029. Multiply it by 100, and you get 2.9%

Find the center and radius for the circle, given the equation: x^2-14x+y^2+8=16
Strike441 [17]
You can do this by completing the square

x^2 - 14x + y^2 + 8  = 16

(x - 7)^2 - 49 + (y + 4)^2 - 16  = 16

(x - 7)^2 + (y + 4)^2 =   16 + 16 + 49  =  81


so the center is at (7 , -4) and radius = sqrt81 = 9
