Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find how many copies the new model will run, we need to add the 24% increase in copies to the old number of copies per hour:

490 + (0.24)(490) = 490 + 117.6 = 607.6, which rounds up to 608 copies per hour. Therefore, the best choice is B. To find how many copies the new model would run, we need to take the old number of copies per hour (490) and add 24% more. This can be done by multiplying 490 by 1.24 (or 124%).

490 x 1.24 = 607.6

Rounding to the nearest whole number gives us 608, which is choice B.
