The question is ambiguous:If each girl shakes one other person's hand once, then there are seven (7) handshakes.If each girl shakes each other girl's hand once, then there are 7 x 6 x 0.5 = 21 handshakes (each girl x each other girl x cancelling out the doubles).Another way to look at this one:If each girl shakes each of the other girl's hand once, there would be 42 shakes (each girl shakes 6 hands, times 7 girls, an assupmtion is made that each girl is not shaking her own hands, you can't tell much from the question so assuming ensues)
36. Everybody shakes 8 hands but each shake counts for 2 people. So 9*8/2=36.

21 handshakes

9 handshakes correct answer is 10
25 shakes
The answer is 21 handshakes because the first person shakes hands with the other 6 people. The second person shakes hands with 5 people because they already shook hands with the first person. The third person shakes hands with 4 people because they already shook hands with the first and second person. The fourth person shakes hands with 3 people because they already shook hands with the first, second, and third. The fifth person shakes hands with 2 people because they already shook hands with the first, second, third, and fourth person. The sixth person shakes hands with the seventh person because the rest have already shaken hands with them. The seventh person doesn't have anyone else to shake hands with. Therefore the answer is 21 handshakes.

45 Handshakes All Together
the first shakes 8 people's hands (remember, not his own), the second 7 (he doesn't shake the first one's hand), then the third shakes six, the fourth shakes 5, the fifth shakes 4, the sixth shakes 3, the seventh shakes 2, and the 8th shakes the 9ths hand so 8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 = 36
