Q:

The table shows the number of candies packed by machine c. the equation shows the number of candies packed by machine D. In both representations, x is a measure of the number of minutes and y is a measure of the number of candies packed. How many more candies could machine d pack than machine c in 11 minutes

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer: 605 candiesStep-by-step explanation:Machine C shows a table where 150 candies are added every 2 minutes (which equals 75 candies per minute). Extend the table to show how many candies are made in 11 minutes:      x                  y(minutes)    (candies)    2                 150    4                 300    6                 450    8                 600   10                 750    11                 825     Machine D productivity is given by the equation y = 130xwhen x = 11 minutes, y = 130(11)                                      = 1430 candiesThe difference between machines C and D is: 1430 - 825 = 605
