Copier V prints at a rate of 102 flyers in every 2 minutes and Copier W prints at a rate of 138 flyers in every 6 minutes. At 4 p.m., both copiers started printing. After a while, Copier V stopped printing for some time as the ink cartridges were being changed before it continued to print again. Copier W continued printing during this time. At 6 p.m., the total number of flyers printed during the past two hours was 5935. Express the number of flyers printed by Copier V 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 V prints per min = 102 ÷ 2 = 51
Number of flyers Copier W prints per min = 138 ÷ 6 = 23

From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. = 2 h
1 h = 60 min
2 h = 120 min

Number of flyers printed by Copier W in 4 h
= 120 x 23
= 2760

Number of flyers printed by Copier V in 4 h
= 5935 - 2760
= 3175

Percentage of the number of flyers that Copier V printed over the total number of flyers printed
= ³¹⁷⁵₅₉₃₅ x 100%
≈ 53.50%

Answer(s): 53.50%
