Copier G prints at a rate of 111 leaflets in every 3 minutes and Copier H prints at a rate of 135 leaflets in every 5 minutes. At 7 p.m., both copiers started printing. After a while, Copier G stopped printing for some time as the ink cartridges were being changed before it continued to print again. Copier H continued printing during this time. At 9 p.m., the total number of leaflets printed during the past two hours was 6287. Express the number of leaflets printed by Copier G as a percentage of the total number of leaflets printed by both copiers. Round off your answer to 2 decimal places.
Number of leaflets Copier G prints per min = 111 ÷ 3 = 37
Number of leaflets Copier H prints per min = 135 ÷ 5 = 27

From 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. = 2 h
1 h = 60 min
2 h = 120 min

Number of leaflets printed by Copier H in 7 h
= 120 x 27
= 3240

Number of leaflets printed by Copier G in 7 h
= 6287 - 3240
= 3047

Percentage of the number of leaflets that Copier G printed over the total number of leaflets printed
= ³⁰⁴⁷₆₂₈₇ x 100%
≈ 48.47%

Answer(s): 48.47%
