Start by taking Henri's total money amount, which is $14, then subtract the initial fixed charge.
14 - 1.25 = 12.75. Henri has $12.75 remaining to cover the mileage cost. Since the cab fares cost $0.75 per mile, divide 12.75 by 0.75 to find the miles.
12.75 / 0.75 = 17
So, Henri can afford a ride of 17 miles.

Hope this clarifies things

Solution:

Henri can afford to travel 17 miles by taxi

Step-by-step process:

Given: A taxi company charges a base fare of $1.25 plus $0.75 per mile. Henri has $14 available.

Find: How many miles Henri can afford within his budget.

Method:

Let x be the distance in miles.

Let y represent total cost.

Taxi charges include a fixed $1.25 fee and $0.75 for every mile traveled.

That is, y = 1.25 + 0.75x

Henri's budget equals $14

Therefore, y = 14

14 = 1.25 + 0.75x

Now solve the equation:

14-1.25=0.75x

12.75=0.75x

x=\frac{12.75}{0.75}

x=17

Hence, Henri can afford 17 miles.

PIT_PIT [12445]

Response: 7

Detailed explanation:

A Venn diagram can help visualize this problem.

There are a total of 5 students interested in both French and Latin.

Out of these, 3 students also want to learn Spanish, meaning only 2 students want solely French and Latin.

Moreover, there are 5 students who wish to study only Latin.

This results in 1 student wanting both Latin and Spanish, calculated by 11 - 5 - 3 - 2.

There are 8 students who desire only Spanish, and 4 students who want both Spanish and French.

In the same manner, those wishing to study only French amount to 16 - 4 - 3 - 2 = 7.

If NO = 17 and NP = 5x -6, find the value of x. Then find NO and OP.
Zina [12379]
Assuming that NO equals NP, we can set up the equation 17 = 5x - 6. To find x, we add 6 to both sides, resulting in 23 = 5x. I'm not sure if the answer should be in decimal form, but dividing 23 by 5 gives 4.6. Therefore, x equals 4.6. Substituting this back, we find NO = 17 and NP = 17, which I believe is the solution to the problem. Please let me know if this is correct.
