Answer: c = 225s + 4500. and when you use the equation to find the total cost to transport 11 tons the answer is c = 6975.

Step-by-step explanation: we know this by looking at the numbers an additional 225 of each key word is each that means it will be the x variable or in this case the s. so c = 225s + y. OK now lets find what the y intercept your starting off paying 4500 for the trucks no matter what so that would be your y intercept so c = 225s + 4500. Now to find how much it costs to transport 11 tons of sugar your going to put 11 in the s place then solve which should give you c=6975.
