#=$7,500.00#

Knowing the tonnage of sugar being transported would provide as the total amount for the additional payment for the truck rental per condition provided in the problem.
#=16cancel("tons")xx($125)/(1cancel("ton"))#
#=$2,000.00#
Given that the rental for the truck is #$5,500.00#, therefore the total cost for transporting the sugar is
#="Truck rental+Cost for 16 tons of sugar transported"#
#=$5,500.00+$2,000.00#
#=$7,500.00#
