Your town decides to build a volleyball court. If the court is approximately 40 by 70 feet and its surface is of sand, 1 foot deep, the court will require about 166 tons of sand. A local sand pit sells sand for $11 per ton with a delivery charge of 3 dollars per ton. Write and solve an equation to find the total cost of the sand for this court.
Since they give you the needed tons of sand you dont need the dimensions anymore. So the equation for the cost would be y=(11+3)x where y is the total cost, x is the amount of sand needed and 11+3 is the cost of one ton of sand + the deliverly charge per ton
