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 $150 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.



Answer :

C = 4500 + 150s

4500 is fixed, so what remains is just 150$ per ton of sugar (so 150 x s)

If we substitute 12 for s we get: 

C = 4500 + 150*12

C = 6300
