Question

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?
65
130
450
605

Answer 1

First, let's create an equation to represent the table.
y = 75x

Answer 2

Then, plug in 11 for x in both equations

Answer 3

y = 75(11)
y = 130(11)
Solve the equations above, and let me know what you get. :-)

Answer 4

Thank you so much!!

Answer 5

I got 130 @bluediamond1999

Answer 6

Not quite.
y = 75(11)
y = 825

y = 130(11)
y = 1430

What is 1430 - 825?

Answer 7

The answer is 605
