How many people are there if everyone shakes hands and there are 66 handshakes?
Assuming that each person shakes hands with every other person, there are 12 people. Let n be the number of people. Then each person shakes hands with (n-1) people and if you ask every person how many hand shakes they made and total them you will get a total of n(n-1) handshakes. However, each handshake involves two people and has been counted twice - once by each person that shook hands - thus number of hand shakes is half of this, giving: n(n-1)/2 = 66 ⇒ n(n-1) = 132 ⇒ n2 - n - 132 = 0 ⇒ (n - 12)(n + 11) = 0 ⇒ n = 12 or -11 You can't have -11 people, therefore there are 12 people.
How many handshakes if 100 people shake hands with every other person in room?

There are five people in a room Each person shakes the hand of every other person exactly once How many handshakes are exchanged?
Everyone shakes hands with 4 other people. Since there are 5 people in the room this would suggest there are 5*4 = 20 handshakes. However, you would then be double counting handshakes: A shaking hands with B and B shaking hands with A is, in reality, only one handshake. Thus there are 5*4/2 = 10 handshakes in all.
At the end of a banquet 5 people shake hands with each other How many handshakes will there be in total?
Each person shakes hands with every other person at the end of the banquet. When person 1 shakes hands with person 2 that constitutes one handshake even though 2 people are involved. So the answer is 10 total handshakes because the 1st person will have 4 total handshakes(because he can't shake hands with himself, he has 4 and not 5 total handshakes), and then the 2nd person will have 3 total handshakes (you wouldn't say 4 handshakes because you've already included the handshake between person 1 & person 2 when calculating the first person's number of shakes) and so on for the remaining 3 people. On paper the math would look like this: 4+3+2+1=10 Alternatively: Each person shakes hands with 4 others so the answer looks like 5x4 = 20; However, in Fred shaking with 4 others, he shakes with Charlie, similarly, in Charlie shaking with 4 others he shakes with Fred. Thus the Fred-Charlie handshake has been counted twice (once by Fred, once by Charlie), as have all the handshakes, thus the answer is: 5x4 / 2 = 10.

How many people are there if everyone shakes hands and there are 66 handshakes?
Assuming that each person shakes hands with every other person, there are 12 people. Let n be the number of people. Then each person shakes hands with (n-1) people and if you ask every person how many hand shakes they made and total them you will get a total of n(n-1) handshakes. However, each handshake involves two people and has been counted twice - once by each person that shook hands - thus number of hand shakes is half of this, giving: n(n-1)/2 = 66 ⇒ n(n-1) = 132 ⇒ n2 - n - 132 = 0 ⇒ (n - 12)(n + 11) = 0 ⇒ n = 12 or -11 You can't have -11 people, therefore there are 12 people.

Bob invites guests to a school function. Every person shakes the hand of every other person in the function. There are 24 people at the function. How many handshakes were there?
24 people each shake the hands of 23 others - so 24 x 23 = 552. But as each handshake performed accounts for 2 people, 276 will complete the task. The formula for calculating this is 2H=N*(N-1), where H = number of handshakes and N = number of people involved.
