Answer:

20 ton

Step-by-step explanation:

We created a system of two separate equations to answer these questions.

"y" will be the total cost to transport the sugar

"x" will be the amount of sugar transported

Therefore, we have to:

y = 3995 + 225.50 * x

y = 6500 + 100.25 * x

We must establish these equations equal to each other because it asks how much of x is necessary to make the same amount of y, therefore:

3995 + 225.50 * x = 6500 + 100.25 * x

solved we have:

225.50 * x - 100.25 * x  = 6500 - 3995

125.25 * x = 2505

x = 2505 / 125.25

x = 20

which means that when the amount of sugar transported is 20 tons, the price is the same

How can you determine whether a given number makes an equation true?​
EastWind [94]

Answer:

By plotting in the number in the equation (aka where all the x’s are variables are) and seeing if it works.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, let’s use the problem:

3x + 4 = 16

if the given number is 4, we fill it in for x-

3 (4) + 4= 16

solve to see if true:

12 + 4 = 16

16 = 16

hence, the given number 4 makes the equation true!

hopes this helps, have a great day :)

Answer 1. And 2.for Brainliest
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

10% discount means you pay 90% of the original cost x.

90% of x = $40.50

0.90x = $40.50

x = $40.50/0.90 = $45

:::::

total cost = 1.065·$40.50 ≅ $43.13
