$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

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.
