A Supermarket manager hired one packager who can pack 15 boxes every two minutes. Ater some time the manager noticed that packaging is too much work to be done by one person, so they hired another packager who can pack 15 boxes every three minutes. How many minutes will it take these two packagers, working together, to pack 500 boxes? 32 40​
