Just try to follow my description. When two persons are in the cabin, there is only 1 handshake. When a third person comes, he will have to handshake the two people who came before him. So, there will be 2 handshakes. When a fourth person comes, he would make 3 handshakes with the 3 people who came before him. When the fifth person comes, he would make 4 handshakes with the 4 people who came before him. So, you see there is a pattern. The number of handshakes is 1 less than the total number of people inside the cabin. So, if there are 14 people in the cabin, the last person to come in would have to make 13 handshakes with the 13 people who came in first. Obtaining the sum of all the handshakes starting from the 2 handshakes initially to the 13 handshakes, the sum would be
Total handshakes = 2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13
Total handshakes = 90
Therefore, there will be a total of 90 handshakes made within the cabin of 14 people.
Answer:
$132
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the total number of woods required. This would be total area of fence divided by area of each wood. Remember to convert inch into feet.
Now we know the total number of planks, we need to find what is the cost of each plank. We know that one wood plank area is 2 sq. ft ( 6*0.33333). Therefore, the cost of each plank is = cost per area(sq.ft) multiply by total area (sq. ft).
cost per plank = 2 * $1.10 =$2.20.
We have total planks = 60 units and we have cost per plank = $2.20.
So, we can find total cost as 60*2.20= $132
Answer:
$21.59
Step-by-step explanation:
The original hourly rate was x.
She raised it 6%. The raise is 6% of x, or 0.06x.
The new rate is x + 0.06x or 1.06x.
The new rate is $22.89.
1.06x = 22.89
Divide both sides by 1.06.
x = 21.59
