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 14 tons of sugar.

Answer 1

Answer:

$10000 Total cost to transport 14 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost C(S) = $6500 + ($250/ton)S.  This is a linear function with initial value $6500 and slope $250/ton.

C(14) = $6500 + ($250/ton)(14) = $10000 = Total cost to transport 14 tons

Answer 2

Answer:

hello! the answer is below!

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write the equation.

6500 + 250s = c

Now put in our value for s.

6500 + 250 · 19 = 4750

The answers are

6500 + 250s = c

And

4750

Hope this helps! :)
