equation to find the total cost to transport 14 tons of sugar.

Answer 1

hello! the answer is below!

Explanation:

Let's write the equation.

6500 + 250s = c

Now put in our value for s.

6500 + 250 · 19 = 4750

The answers are

6500 + 250s = c

And

4750

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

$10000 Total cost to transport 14 tons

Explanation:

The total cost C(S) = $6500 + ($250/ton)S. This is a linear function with initial value $6500 and slope $250/ton.

C(14) = $6500 + ($250/ton)(14) = $10000 = Total cost to transport 14 tons
