It will cost $6500 to rent trucks, and it will cost an additional $250 for each ton of sugartransportedLet Crepresent the total cost (in dollars), and let S represent the amount of sugar (in tons) transported. Write an equation relating to S, and then graph youequation using the axes below.

Answer 1

C= total cost in dollars

S = amount of sugar in tons

The total cost will be equal to the cost of renting the trucks (6500) plus the product of the cost of each ton of sugar (250) and the number of tons (s)

C= 250S +6500
