Answer:

C(s) = total cost function

$5,500 base price to rent trucks

$250 per ton of sugar to be transported

Total Cost = Price per ton of sugar * # of tons + total cost to rent trucks

C(s) = $250s + $5,500

For 14 tons of sugar the total cost would be:

C(s) = $250(14 tons) + $5,500

C(s) = $9,000

Total cost to transport 14 tons of sugar would cost $9,000
