In "The Value of a Sherpa Life," Schaffer makes the following claim. … the [climbing] industry clearly values life on a two-tiered basis: Westerners at the top, Sherpas at the bottom.

Which details does Schaffer cite to support this claim? Choose three options.
A. lower pay for Sherpas
B. accidental Sherpa deaths
C. lower standards for rescue insurance for Sherpas
D. lower payouts for Sherpa deaths
E. training in climbing techniques given to Sherpas
F. expressions of sorrow about Sherpa deaths

I think it's C

Explanation:

The question is asking what proves that the Sherpas are seen as less important people to be alive, unlike the Westerners. It can't be A because that is about money. It can't be B because accidental deaths happen everywhere. It can't be D because that's also relating to money. It can't be E because that's the opposite of what the question asked about.

Hope you get it correct! Good luck!

in which scenario might one be asked to take minute meetings?

answer: b. a student attending an orientation

in the problem you wrote said that the taxi charges $0.070 per mile(which would be 7 cents per mile), but then in your suggested equation you have it as $0.70 per mile (which is 70 cents per mile).

the latter seems more realistic, so i will assume that the taxi costs $5.00 and charges $0.70 per mile with tolls costing an additional $3.50. and it asks you to find how far you can travel on $36.50.

let x the number of miles traveled. since the taxi charges $0.70 per mile, multiplying this by the miles traveled (x) will yield the cost of the taxi ride as far as how far it took you. then adding this amount to the cost of the taxi ($5.00) and the additional cost for the tolls ($3.50) will give you the total cost of the taxi ride ($36.50)

that is,

            (0.70)x + 5.00 + 3.50 = 36.50

adding the like terms on the left-hand side of this equation, we arrive at the following:

            (0.70)x + 8.50 = 36.50

subtracting 8.50 from both sides of the equation, we get:

            (0.70)x = 28.00

to solve for x, divide both sides of the equation above by the coefficient of x (that being, 0.70):

            x = 40

thus, you can travel up to 40 miles on $36.50
