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.
Machine C Candy Packing
x (minutes) y (candies)
2 150
4 300
6 450
8 600
Machine D: y = 130x
How many more candies could machine D pack than machine C in 11 minutes?
First, we're going to see the candies per minute that machine C packs. 150 / 2 = 75
Now that we know that machine C packs 75 candies per minute, we're going to multiply the candies machine C makes by 11 minutes. 75 x 11 = 825
We're now gonna do the same with machine D. 130 x 11 = 1430
Then we're going to find the difference between machine C and machine D, we do this because the question basically asks how much more candies can machine D pack than machine C. 1430 - 825 = 605 candies.
