Question

The Sugar Sweet Company is going to transport its sugar to market. It will cost $7500 to rent trucks, and it will cost an additional $125 for each ton of sugar transported.
Let C represent the total cost (in dollars), and let S represent the amount of sugar (in tons) transported. Write an equation relating C to S. Then use this equation to find the total cost to transport 14 tons of sugar.

Answer 1

The total cost will be $9250 to transport 14 tons of sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost to rent trucks = $7500

Cost per ton = $125

C = Total cost in dollars

S = Amount of sugar in tons

Total cost = Rent of trucks + Cost per ton * sugar in tons

$C=7500+125S$

The equation $C=7500+125S$ relates C to S.

Total cost for 14 tons.

S = 14

Putting in equation;

$C=7500+125(14)\\C=7500+1750\\C=9250$

The total cost will be $9250 to transport 14 tons of sugar.
