Acompany that packages cold cuts needs to transport the packages meat to the supermarket. it will cost $1,200 to rent a truck, and it will cost an additional $100 for every 50 pounds transported. which equation represents the transport cost for every 50 pounds of cold cuts transported?
y=1200-100x
y=1200+100x
y=1200x+100
y=100x-1200

The answer for this question is Y=1200+100x because the question is asking for you to find the total cost of the shipment of the packages. First of all, $1200 is already added to the shipment cost, so the first and last answer is incorrect. But the is, it can't be the third one because the truck is a one time payment, so you do not need to pay for it again.

Y = 1200 + 100x Y equals the total amount it will cost x equals the number of 50 lbs
