Question

The Sugar Sweet Company is going to transport its sugar to market. It will cost to rent trucks, and it will cost an additional for each ton of sugar transported. Let represent the total cost (in dollars), and let represent the amount of sugar (in tons) transported. Write an equation relating to . Then use this equation to find the total cost to transport tons of sugar.

Answer 1

C(11) = 9975

Explanation:

Let C represent the total cost (in dollars),

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

equation:

C(s) = 225s + 7500

find the total cost to transport 11 tons of sugar.

C(11) = 225(11) + 7500

C(11) = 2475 + 7500

C(11) = 9975
