Question

The table shows the number of candies packed by Machine J. The equation shows the number of candies packed by Machine K. In both representations, x is a measure of the number of minutes and y is a measure of the number of candies packed.

Machine J Candy Packing

x (minutes) y (candies)
3 90
6 180
9 270
12 360

Machine K: y = 26x

How many more candies could machine J pack than machine K in 11 minutes?
30
44
90
330

Answer 1

Machine K y= 26x
y = 26 (11)
y = 286 candies in 11 minutes from Machine K

Machine J
90 / 3 = 30 candies a minute * 11 minutes = 330 candies

330 - 286 = 44

Machine J can pack 44 more candies than Machine K in 11 minutes.
