The Sugar Sweet Company will choose from two companies to transport its sugar to market. The first company charges $2510 to rent trucks plus an additional fee of $125.25 for each ton of sugar. The second company does not charge to rent trucks but charges $250.75 for each ton of sugar.
For what amount of sugar do the two companies charge the same?
What is the cost when the two companies charge the same?

Respuesta :

2510 + 125.25s = 250.75s
2510 = 250.75s - 125.25s
2510 = 125.50s
2510 / 125.50 = 20 = s.......they charge the same at 20 tons of sugar

they will both cost : 250.75(20) = $ 5015
