The Sugar Sweet Company is going to transport its sugar to market. It will cost
$4500
to rent trucks, and it will cost an additional
$225
for each ton of sugar transported.
Let
C
represent the total cost (in dollars), and let
S
represent the amount of sugar (in tons) transported. Write an equation relating
C
to
S
. Then use this equation to find the total cost to transport
17
tons of sugar.
Answer provided by our tutors
C = 4500 + 225S is the equation for the cost C
S = 17 tones, we need to find C
C = 4500 + 225*17
C = $8,325
the total cost to transport 17 tones of sugar is $8,325.
