Question

The function p(x) = 25x represents the number of pages p(x) a printer can print in x minutes. How many pages can the

printer print in 5 hours?

Answer 1

7,500 Pages

Explanation:

So this printer can prink 25 pages in 1 (x) minute.

There are 60 minutes in an hour and we are waiting 5 hours, so 5x60 = 300 minutes.

Then you take the 300 and plug it in for x because that is how many minutes we are waiting for. Now your equation should look like this:

p(x) = 25(300)

Next you multiply 25 x 300 and you get 7,500 pieces of paper
