Answer:

C = 125S + $3750

Step-by-step explanation:

$ 3750  = truck rental;   $125 per ton of sugar transported.  C is the cost;  S is the number of tons transported. The equation relating C to S would be a linear equation like y = mx + b. 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
