Based on the rate at which all three computers process bills, the time taken for the computers to process 1,780 bills is 4 minutes.

What is the time taken to process 1,780 bills?

First find the number of bills left when the third computer joined:

= 1,780 - (160 x 1.5 mins) - (160 x 1.5 mins)

= 1,300

Then the average speed of all three computers is:

= 160 + 160 + 200

= 520 bills per minute

The time taken to finish up the other bills would be:

= 1,300 / 520

= 2.5 minutes

Add this to the minutes already elapsed before the third computer was used:

= 2.5 + 1.5

= 4 minutes
