Machine A and Machine B are each used to make 660 widgets. It takes Machine A x hours longer to produce 660 widgets than Machine B. Machine B produces y % more widgets per hour than Machine A. How long does it take Machine A to make 660 widgets?

A. x + 100x/y

Step-by-step explanation:

Machine A= x hours longer to produce 660 widget than machine B

Machine B produces y% more widget per hour than machine A

let

b = Number of hours it takes Machine B to make 660 widgets.

Time taken for Machine A to make the 660 widgets = x + b.

Rate of Machine B = 660/b

Rate of Machine A = 660 / (x + b).

Machine B produces y% more widgets per hour than Machine A:

660 / (x + b)(1 + y/100) = 660/b

1 / (x + b)(1 + y/100) = 1 / b

Multiply both sides by (x+b)

1 + y/100 = (x + b)/b

1 + y/100 = x/b + 1

Subtract 1 from both sides

y/100 = x/b

Take the inverse of both sides

100/y = b/x

Make b the subject

100x/y = b

b=100x/y

The time taken for Machine A to make the 660 widgets is x + b = x + 100x/y.

Answer is A. x + 100x/y

a line is an defined derm because it

a)contains an infinite number of points b) can be used to create other geometric shapes c)describes something that does not have width or depth d) is a term that does not have a formal definition. a line is an undefined term because it: contains an infinite number of points.
