Based on the information in the table, if both printers run for 10 minutes, what percentage of the total pages printed…

First, calculate the printing rate for each printer in pages per minute.

Rate of Printer X = 360 pages / 3 minutes = 120 pages per minute.

Rate of Printer Y = 480 pages / 8 minutes = 60 pages per minute.

Next, calculate the number of pages each printer would produce in 10 minutes.

Pages from Printer X = 120 pages/minute · 10 minutes = 1200 pages.

Pages from Printer Y = 60 pages/minute · 10 minutes = 600 pages.

Then, find the total number of pages printed by both printers combined.

Total pages = 1200 + 600 = 1800 pages.

Finally, calculate the percentage of the total pages that were printed by Printer X and round to the nearest whole percent.

Percentage from Printer X = (1200 / 1800) · 100% = (2/3) · 100% = 66.66...%.

Rounding to the nearest whole percent gives 67%.

A is incorrect because it is the ratio of the printing times, 3 / (3 + 8) ≈ 27%, not the ratio of pages printed. B is incorrect because it is the percentage of pages printed by Printer Y (600 / 1800 ≈ 33%), not Printer X. C is incorrect because it is the percentage based on the raw page counts in the table (360 / (360+480) ≈ 43%) and does not account for the different printing rates.
