WEll FIRST IT WRONF THEN IT IS
Answer: 14 tons
$3,860.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the amount of sugar transported.
First company:
The cost is $3157 truck rental plus $50.25 per ton of sugar.
Total cost = 3157 + 50.25x dollars
Second company:
There is no charge for truck rental, but it costs $275.75 per ton of sugar.
The total cost is
275.75x
When the two costs are the same, then
275.75x = 3157 +50.25x
225.5x = 3157
x = 14 tons
The total cost is 275.75*14 = $3,860.50
Start by distributing the - 1/3 which is the same as dividing the entire parentheses by 3 which results in (3x+10)
