Question

Your town decides to build a volleyball court. If the court is approximately 40 by 70 feet and its surface is of sand, 1 foot deep, the court will require about 166 tons of sand. A local sand pit sells sand for $11 per ton with a delivery charge of 3 dollars per ton. Write and solve an equation to find the total cost of the sand for this court.

Answer 1

Since they give you the needed tons of sand you dont need the dimensions anymore. So the equation for the cost would be y=(11+3)x where y is the total cost, x is the amount of sand needed and 11+3 is the cost of one ton of sand + the deliverly charge per ton

Answer 2

hey the equation is y = (11+3)x hope that i helped
