It takes machine A 'x' hours to manufacture a deck of cards that machine B can manufacture in 'y' hours. If machine A operates alone for 'z' hours and is then joined by machine B until 100 decks are finished, for how long will the two machines operate simultaneously?
A. (100xy – z)/(x + y)
B. y(100x – z)/(x + y)
C. 100y(x – z)/(x + y)
D. (x + y)/(100xy – z)
E. (x + y – z)/100xy
We can let the rate of machine A = 1/x and the rate of machine B = 1/y. We are given that machine A operates
