The Sugar Sweet Company is going to transport its sugar to market. It will cost $4725
1 answer:
The most important thing to notice is that every ton of sugar added will add $175 to the answer because each ton of sugar costs $175 to transport. this means that part of the equation will be...
(175)(S)
Also notice that the cost of the trucks is constant. The cost of the trucks will not change at all.
The word "additional" tells us the relationship between the cost of the trucks and the cost of transport.
C is the total cost, so C will be the cost of the trucks plus the cost of transport.
Thus our equation is...
4725+(175)(S)=C
The picture is what the graph looks like. The X axis has a dot for every ton of sugar, and the Y axis has a dot for every $1000.00
