A transport company charges a flat rate of ₦500 per kilometre for road haulage. If a trader needs to transport goods from Ibadan to Abuja, a distance of 520 km, and the truck can carry a maximum load of 5 tonnes, what is the total freight cost for a full truckload?

The freight cost is calculated by multiplying the rate per kilometre by the total distance: ₦500 × 520 km = ₦260,000. The load capacity of 5 tonnes is a distractor, as the rate is per kilometre for the truck (not per tonne per kilometre). Options B and D result from incorrect multiplication, while C results from dividing instead of multiplying.
