A local print shop has a big order of pamphlets to print, so they decide to use two of their printers for the one job.

The newest printer can print the pamphlets four times as fast as the old printer Working together the printers can complete the job in 4 hours.

Let x be the number of the pamphlets are printed by the old printer in one hour.

Then the number of the pamphlets are printed by the new printer in one hour will be 4x.

Then if they work together, then the  number of the pamphlets in one hour will be 5x.

Then the number of the pamphlets in 4 hour will be

→ 5x × 4

→ 20x
