working together , printer a and printer b would finish the task in 40 minutes . printer a alone would finish the task in 60 minutes . how many pages does the task contain if printer b prints 4 pages a minute more than printer a ?
40 * a + 40 * b = x pages in 40 mins printer a will print = 40 / 60 * x pages = 2 / 3 * x pages thus in 40 mins printer printer b will print x - 2 / 3 * x = 1 / 3 * x pages also it is given that printer b prints 4 more pages per min that printer a . in 40 mins printer b will print 160 more pages than printer a thus 2 / 3 * x - 1 / 3 * x = 160 = > x = 480 pages answer : d
multiply(divide(4, subtract(divide(60, 40), const_1)), const_60)
