Brand X copier has improved its copier so that it produces 10% more copies than its old model. If the old model ran 420 copies per hour, how many copies would the new model run? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer
A
221 copies per hour
B
435 copies per hour
C
462 copies per hour
D
447 copies per hour

Explanation

Find 10% of 420: 0.10 × 420 = 42 copies. Add that increase to the old model’s rate: 420 + 42 = 462 copies per hour. The correct choice is 462 copies per hour.
