Copier T prints at a rate of 88 flyers in every 2 minutes and Copier U prints at a rate of 130 flyers in every 5 minutes. At 1 p.m., both copiers started printing. After a while, Copier T stopped printing for some time as the ink cartridges were being changed before it continued to print again. Copier U continued printing during this time. At 5 p.m., the total number of flyers printed during the past four hours was 8863. Express the number of flyers printed by Copier T as a percentage of the total number of flyers printed by both copiers. Round off your answer to 2 decimal places.
Number of flyers Copier T prints per min = 88 ÷ 2 = 44
Number of flyers Copier U prints per min = 130 ÷ 5 = 26

From 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. = 4 h
1 h = 60 min
4 h = 240 min

Number of flyers printed by Copier U in 1 h
= 240 x 26
= 6240

Number of flyers printed by Copier T in 1 h
= 8863 - 6240
= 2623

Percentage of the number of flyers that Copier T printed over the total number of flyers printed
= ²⁶²³₈₈₆₃ x 100%
≈ 29.59%

Answer(s): 29.59%
