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 $125 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 16 tons of sugar.

C = 125S + 4500 <== ur equation

to transport 16 tons....sub in 16 for S
C = 125(16) + 4500
C = 2000 + 4500
C = 6500 <==
