PLEASE HELP, THANK YOU!!!

The Sugar Sweet Company will choose from two companies to transport its sugar to market. The first company charges
$
5500

to rent trucks plus an additional fee of
$
100.50

for each ton of sugar. The second company charges
$
4597

to rent trucks plus an additional fee of
$
175.75

for each ton of sugar.


For what amount of sugar do the two companies charge the same?

5500+100.50x=4597+175.75x
175.75x-100.50x=5500-4597
75.25x= 903
x=903/75.25
x=12
for 12 ton of sugar the two companies charge the same
