The Sugar Sweet Company will choose from two companies to transport its sugar to market. The first company charges
$2490 to rent trucks plus an additional fee of $200.75 for each ton of sugar. The second company charges $4500 to rent
trucks plus an additional fee of $100.25 for each ton of sugar.
For what amount of sugar do the two companies charge
the same?
What is the cost when the two companies charge the
same?

I think it's how you do this!

5495 + 200.75x = 7500 + 100.50x

100.25x = 2005

x=20 <- the amount of sugar at the equilibrium point.

7500 + 100.50(20)

7500 + 2005

$9505 <- the cost at that point. ■
