The sugar sweet company is going to transport its sugar to market. it will cost $4725
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, and then graph your equation using the axes below.

The most important thing to notice is that every ton of sugar added will add $175 to the answer because each ton of sugar costs $175 to transport. this means that part of the equation will be...

(175)(S)

Also notice that the cost of the trucks is constant. The cost of the trucks will not change at all.

The word "additional" tells us the relationship between the cost of the trucks and the cost of transport.

C is the total cost, so C will be the cost of the trucks plus the cost of transport.

Thus our equation is...

4725+(175)(S)=C

The picture is what the graph looks like. The X axis has a dot for every ton of sugar, and the Y axis has a dot for every $1000.00
