Answer:

x = 3 trips

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the cost function, C = 4000x + 500, where C represents the total cost of the trip, and x represents the number of trips:

We can solve for x by substituting the given value for C in the cost function:

C = 4000x + 500

$12,500 = 4000x + 500

Subtract 500 from both sides of the equation:

$12,500 - 500 = 4000x + 500 - 500

$12,000 = 4000x

Divide 4000 on both sides of the equation to solve for x:

[tex]\frac{12000}{4000} = \frac{4000x}{4000}[/tex]

x = 3

Therefore, for a total cost of $12,500, it took 3 trips.
