Question
A photocopy machine is initially loaded with 5,000 sheets of paper. The machine starts a large job and copies at a constant rate. After 20 minutes, it has used of the paper. Which of the following equations models the number of sheets of paper, p , remaining in the machine m minutes after the machine started printing?
Hint:
We use logical thinking to solve this problem.
The correct answer is:
Step 1 of 2:
A photocopy machine is initially loaded with 5000 sheets of paper. It copies at a constant rate. After 20 minutes, it has used 30% (= 30/100 = 0.3) of the paper.
Since the machine copies at a constant rate, from the above given data we can determine the rate as
Step 2 of 2:
For m minutes, the machine will copy 5000
Now, it is asked to find the number of sheets remaining in the machine. So, in that case, after m/20 minutes it should be left with (100 -30)% = 70% = 70/100 =0.7 of papers.
Hence, the remaining number of sheets, p, be 5000(0.7)m/20.
Final Answer:
The right choice is— D)
