Answer:

The company is transferring 25 tons.

Explanation:

let y = the total cost

let x = the number of tons

y = 150x + 4500

8250 = 150x + 4500 Subtract 4500 from both sides

8250 - 4500 = 150x + 4500 - 4500

3750 = 150x Divide both sides by 150


(3750)/(150) =
(150x)/(150)

25 = x

The company is transferring 25 tons.
