The sugar-sweet company is going to transport its sugar in to market it will cost $6,500 to rent trucks plus $150 for each ton of sugar transported the total cost c in dollars for transporting tons is given by the following

$ 3750  = truck rental;   $125 per ton of sugar transported

C is cost;  S is number of tons transported

Equation relating C to S would be a linear equation like y = mx + b

C = 125S + $3750

This equation would be graphed in the first quadrant only

you would start with your y-intercept at (0, 3750)

As x increases by 1, your y increases by 125 yielding these points:

(1, 3875)  (2, 4000)  (3, 4125)  etc.  

This shows that for each increase by one ton of sugar, the cost goes up $125

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)
