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

step-by-step explanation:

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,
