Question

The Sugar Sweet Company is going to transport its sugar to market. It will cost $6500 to rent trucks, and it will cost an additional $250 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 19 tons of sugar.

Answer 1

Answer:  Equation relating C to S   : $C=6500+250S$

The total cost to transport 19 tons of sugar is $11, 250.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : It will cost $6500 to rent trucks, and it will cost an additional $250 for each ton of sugar transported.

Total cost =  $6500 + $250 x (amount of sugar transported ( in tons))

Let C represent the total cost (in dollars), and let S represent the amount of sugar (in tons) transported.

Then, the equation relating C to S  would be : $C=6500+250S$

When S= 19 , we get

$C=6500+250(19)=6500+4750= 11250$

Hence, the total cost to transport 19 tons of sugar would be $11, 250.

Answer 2

An equation that relates Cost to the amount of sugar S

C = 6500 + 250S

The total cost is $1120

The total cost of transporting 19 tons of sugar at 250 each

C = total cost

C = 6500 + 250(19)

Total cost = 6500 + 4750

= 11250

Therefore the total cost of transporting the 19 tons of sugar is $11250
