The response from the other tutor does nothing to address the question that is asked....

The two printers together print the 280 pages in 20 minutes, a rate of 280/20=14 pages per minute.

The one printer can print 6 pages per minute; that means the other printer can print 14-6=8 pages per minute.

ANSWER: 8 pages per minute
