The super sweet company will choose from 2 companies to transport its sugar to market . The first company charges $4500 to rent trucks plus an additional fee of $200.25 for each ton of sugar . The second company charges $4197 to rent trucks plus an additional fee of $225.50 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?

The two companies charge the same for 12 tons of sugar and the cost when they charge the same is $6903.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two companies charge the same.

⇒ 4500 + 200.25x = 4197 + 225.50x

⇒ 4500-4197 = 225.50x - 200.25x

⇒ 303 = 25.25x

⇒ x = 303/25.25

x = 12

step-by-step explanation :

we know that

the measurement of the outer angle is the semi-difference of the arcs which comprises

in this problem

m< xzy is the outer angle

substitute the values

the measure of angle xoy is equal to

> by central angle

substitute the value
