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
