Answer 1

Answer:

(a) C = $9250

(b) n = 21 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)   11 tons being transported, so n = 11.

                ∴ C = 250 (11) + 650

                        C = $9250

(b)   C = $11,750

       ∴ 11750 = 250n + 6500

                250n = 5250

                   n = 21 tons
