Answer:
C = 125S + $3750
Step-by-step explanation:
$ 3750 = truck rental; $125 per ton of sugar transported. C is the cost; S is the number of tons transported. The equation relating C to S would be a linear equation like y = mx + b. This equation would be graphed in the first quadrant only. You would start with your y-intercept at (0, 3750). As x increases by 1, your y increases by 125 yielding these points:
(1, 3875) (2, 4000) (3, 4125) etc.
This shows that for each increase by one ton of sugar, the cost goes up $125
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
D because it shows that 1x1/3 is shown on # D
Answer:
the correct choice is marked
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the smaller number. Then the larger number is 8x, and the difference is ...
8x -x = 280
7x = 280 . . . . . simplify
x = 40 . . . . . . divide by 7
The larger number is 8x = 8(40) = 320.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Effectively, we have solved for the multiplier (40) that gives the ratio with 320 on top and a difference between top and bottom of 280:
