What is the total cost of transporting 15 tons?

In the total cost is $8750, how many tons is the company transporting?

Answer:  Equation relating C to S   :

The total cost to transport 19 tons of sugar is $11, 250.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : It will cost $6500 to rent trucks, and it will cost an additional $250 for each ton of sugar transported.

Total cost =  $6500 + $250 x (amount of sugar transported ( in tons))

Let C represent the total cost (in dollars), and let S represent the amount of sugar (in tons) transported.

Then, the equation relating C to S  would be :

When S= 19 , we get

Hence, the total cost to transport 19 tons of sugar would be $11, 250.
