Answer:

They can type 825 words in 25 minutes.

Explanation:

First, we need to find how many words they can type per minute. To do that, we need to divide 495 by 15.


495 / 15 = 33

Now, we know how many words per minute, and the question is how many words they can type in 25 minutes. So to find our answer, we need to multiply 33 by 25, since 33 is how many words in one minute.


33 * 25=825

So now we know our answer: 825 words in 25 minutes.
