The Sugar Sweet Company will choose from two companies to transport its sugar to marke

Question

The first company charges $4005 to rent trucks plus an additional fee of 50.25 for each ton of 5-sugar. The second company does not charge to rent trucks but charges for 250.50 each ton of sugar.

Answer 1

4005 + 50.25T = 250.50T

200.25T = 4005

T = 4005/200.25 = 20 tons

The 1st company is cheaper to use if you're transporting more than 20 tons

The 2nd company is cheaper if you're transporting less than 20 tons

They charge the same if you transport exactly 20 tons
