Answer: 25% decrease in number of boxes of goods
Step-by-step explanation:
If you want to find a percent of a number you turn the percent into a decimal
Example:
Step 1
25% of 748
Step 2
0.25*748=561
<span>Divide the top of the fraction by the bottom,t<span>hen multiply your answer by 100</span></span>
So first you find 10% which is 34.5
Then you multiply 10% by 4 to get 40% which is = 138
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.
