The Sugar Company will choose from two companies to transport its sugar to market. The first company charges $5995 to rent trucks plus an additional fee of $175.50 for each ton of sugar. The second company charges $6500 to rent trucks plus an additional fee of $150.25 for each ton of sugar.

I think we're missing part of your question. The expression for cost for the first company will be:

5995 + 175.5x, where x is the number of tons of sugar

and the expression for the cost for the second company is:

6500 + 150.25x

Please feel free to comment with the rest of the question and I'll happily help if I can.

ian gone lie this got me confused

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)
