The Sugar Sweet Company is going to transport its sugar to market. It will cost $4500 to rent trucks, and it will cost an additional $175 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 12 tons of sugar.

Respuesta :

C(s) = 175s + 4500 or y = 175x + 4500

cost of 12 tons of sugar...
C(12) = 175(12) + 4500
C(12) = 2100 + 4500
C(12) = 6600....so 12 tons of sugar will cost u $ 6600
