The table shows the number of candies packed by machine j. the equation shows the number of candies packed by machine k. in both representations, x is a measure of the number of minutes and y is a measure of the number of candies packed.

machine j candy packing

x (minutes) y (candies)
3 90
6 180
9 270
12 360

machine k: y = 26x

how many more candies could machine j pack than machine k in 11 minutes?
30
44
90
330

The correct answer in B) 44.
Step by step
Divide 3 by 90 and you will get 30, meaning that Machine J packed 30 candies per minute. Machine K packed 26 candies per minute as it stated. In order to figure out how many more candies Machine J packed then Machine K in 11 minutes, you would need to figure out how many more candies it packed in one minute then multiply by 11. In this case Machine J packed four more then Machine K in one minute, therefore Machine J packed 44 more than Machine K in 11 minutes.
Hope this helped!

The answer should be 5.
