A company that packages cold cuts needs to transport the packaged meat to the supermarket.
It will cost $1,200 to rent a truck, and it will cost an additional $100 for every 50 pounds transported.
Which equation represents the transport cost for every 50 pounds of cold cuts transported?

y = 1,200 − 100x

y = 1,200 + 100x

y = 1,200x + 100

y = 100x − 1,200

Base on the question where as ask to choose among the following equations that represents the transport cost for every 50 pounds of cold cuts transported, and in my own calculation, I would say that the answer would be y = 1200 + 100x. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more

For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.
 We have then:
 x: every 50 pounds transported
 y: total cost
 We now write the equation that models the problem:
 [tex]y = 1,200 + 100x [/tex]
 Where,
 100: slope of the line representing 100 $ for each 50 pounds transported
 1200: cutting point with the axis y that represents a cost to rent the truck
 Answer:
 An equation that represents the transport cost for every 50 pounds of cold cuts transported is:
 [tex]y = 1,200 + 100x[/tex]
