Copier P prints at a rate of 92 flyers in every 2 minutes and Copier Q prints at a rate of 155 flyers in every 5 minutes. At 2 p.m., both copiers started printing. After a while, Copier P stopped printing for some time as the ink cartridges were being changed before it continued to print again. Copier Q continued printing during this time. At 5 p.m., the total number of flyers printed during the past three hours was 8473. Express the number of flyers printed by Copier P 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 P prints per min = 92 ÷ 2 = 46
Number of flyers Copier Q prints per min = 155 ÷ 5 = 31

From 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. = 3 h
1 h = 60 min
3 h = 180 min

Number of flyers printed by Copier Q in 2 h
= 180 x 31
= 5580

Number of flyers printed by Copier P in 2 h
= 8473 - 5580
= 2893

Percentage of the number of flyers that Copier P printed over the total number of flyers printed
= ²⁸⁹³₈₄₇₃ x 100%
≈ 34.14%

Answer(s): 34.14%
