Copier V prints at a rate of 110 flyers in every 2 minutes and Copier W prints at a rate of 135 flyers in every 5 minutes. At 7 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 10 p.m., the total number of flyers printed during the past three hours was 7774. 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 = 110 ÷ 2 = 55
Number of flyers Copier W prints per min = 135 ÷ 5 = 27

From 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. = 3 h
1 h = 60 min
3 h = 180 min

Number of flyers printed by Copier W in 7 h
= 180 x 27
= 4860

Number of flyers printed by Copier V in 7 h
= 7774 - 4860
= 2914

Percentage of the number of flyers that Copier V printed over the total number of flyers printed
= ²⁹¹⁴₇₇₇₄ x 100%
≈ 37.48%

Answer(s): 37.48%
