Given

Cost of renting the truck = $2600

Additional Cost of sugar per tons = $100

Find

write the equation for this problem and plot the graph

Step-by-step explanation

Let total cost = C

and let S be the amount of sugar (in tons) transported .

according to the question ,

C = 2600 + 110S

so , equation relating C to S would be the linear equation :

C = 110S + 2600

now we need points to plot the graph ,

so

let S = 0 then C = 2600

S = 1 then C = 110(1) + 2600 = 2710

S = 2 then C = 110(2) + 2600 = 220 + 2600 = 2820

so , we have points (0 , 2600) ; (1 , 2710) ; (2 , 2820)

Final Answer

Hence ., the equation is C = 110S + 2600

and graph is above
