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. How many more candies could machine d pack than machine c in 11 minutes
Machine C shows a table where 150 candies are added every 2 minutes (which equals 75 candies per minute). Extend the table to show how many candies are made in 11 minutes:
x y
(minutes) (candies)
2 150
4 300
6 450
8 600
10 750
11 825
Machine D productivity is given by the equation y = 130x
when x = 11 minutes, y = 130(11)
= 1430 candies
The difference between machines C and D is: 1430 - 825 = 605
