Printer A and printer B each work at a constant rate. Printer A can print 300 pages in 6 minutes and printer B can print 300 pages in 4 minutes. How many more copies can printer B make in 5 minutes than printer A can make in 7 minutes?

Let's call \(r_A\) the rate at which printer A works. By definition, \(rate = \frac{number of tasks }{ time}\) to complete them. \(r_A=\frac{300}{6}\) In 7 minutes, A produces \(7 * r_A= 7 * \frac{300}{6 }= 350\)
Now we do the same for B. \(r_B=\frac{300}{4}\) In 5 minutes, B produces \( 5 * r_B = 5*\frac{300}{4}=375.\)
Thus B produces \(375 - 350 = 25 \)more copies
