Question

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 $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 19 tons of sugar.

Equation:

Total cost to transport 19 tons of sugar:

anonymous · Answer

C + (S x 175) = t (t stands for the total)
4500 + (19 x 175) = t
4500 + 3325 = t
$7825 = t
