First let's find how many words Tim can type in a minute and how many words Justin can type in a minute:

#30=3/4t rarr t# represents the number of words Tim can type in a minute

#t=40 rarr# Tim can type 40 words per minute

#32=4/5j rarr j# represents the number of words Justin can type in a minute

#j=40 rarr# Justin can type 40 words per minute

In five minutes, Tim can type #40*5# words and Justin can type #40*5# words

#40*5+40*5#

#200+200#
