Answer:
Solution given:
model A printers [a] prints=80books per day
model B printers [b] prints=55books per day
total no of printers =9
no of model A printers be x
and
no of model B printers be [9-x]
According to the question;
ax+(9-x)b=670 books
substituting value of a and b; we get
80x+(9-x)55=670
80x-55x+495=670
25x=670-495=175
x==7
So;
no of model A printers =x=<u>7</u>
no of model B printers =9-x=9-7=<u>2</u>
<u>is</u><u> </u><u>your</u><u> </u><u>answer</u><u>.</u>

<h2>Hello!</h2>
The answer is: 23.77 hours
<h2>Why?</h2>Where:
Total(t) is equal to the amount for a determined time (in hours)
<em>Start</em> is the original amount
<em>t </em>is the time in hours.
For example, it's known from the statement that the bacteria double their population every 15 hours, so it can be written like this:
To calculate how long it takes for the bacteria cells to increase to 300, we should do the following calculation:
So, to know if we are right, let's replace 23.77 h in the equation:
Total(t)=100*2^\frac{23.77}{15}=299.94
and 299.94≅300
Have a nice day!
