Rudy Dyer · Answer 1

answer: 360

Given:

Machine A Candy Packing

x (minutes) y (candies)

5 600

10 1200

15 1800

20 2400

Machine B : y = 150x

Find number of candies packed in 12 minutes.

Machine A : 600/5mins = 120 candies per minute

120 * 12 minutes = 1,440 candies

Machine B : y = 150x ⇒ y = 150 (12) ⇒ y = 1,800

Machine B: 1,800

Machine A: 1,440

Difference 360

Machine B packed 360 more candies than Machine A in 12 minutes.
