The sugar sweet company will choose from two companies to transport its sugar to market. The first company charges 5500 to rent
trucks plus an additional fee of 150.50 for each ton of sugar. The second company charges 4696 to run trucks plus an additional fee of 200.75 for each tun of sugar
Call the amount of sugar x tons + <span>The first company charges 5500 to rent trucks plus an additional fee of 150.50 for each ton of sugar and we have spend: 5500+ 150.50x + </span><span>The second company charges 4696 to run trucks plus an additional fee of 200.75 for each tun of sugar </span>and we have spend<span>: 4696+ 200.75x
We solve x for </span>5500+ 150.50x> <span>4696+ 200.75x or </span> 150.50x- <span>200.75x > </span>4696-5500 and - 50.25x > - 304 or x < 304:50.25= 6.049 So we have the answer + If we have at least 7 tons of sugar we choose the first company and if not we choose the second.
