Cost of Transporting Goods A trucking company transports goods between Chicago and New York, a distance of 960 miles. The company’s policy is to charge, for each pound, $ 0.50 per mile for the first 100 miles, $ 0.40 per mile for the next 300 miles, $ 0.25 per mile for the next 400 miles, and no charge for the remaining 160 miles. (a) Graph the relationship between the cost of transportation in dollars and mileage over the entire 960-mile route. (b) Find the cost as a function of mileage for hauls between 100 and 400 miles from Chicago. (c) Find the cost as a function of mileage for hauls between 400 and 800 miles from Chicago.
