PLZZ HELP!!!.... The Sugar Sweet Company is going to transport its sugar to market. It will cost $3500 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 13 tons of sugar.

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

first find the fix rate = ??? then ton of sugar = 175 (S) S represents ton of sugar

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

then you have C = total cost so how would the equation looks like

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fixrate + 175(S) = C ?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

fix rate = 3500

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so you have C = 3500 + 175 (S) no you can solve when S = 13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C=5775

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

correct
