Target Setting Issue

[Paul6524]

Hi

I have an issue that I need to solve for due to a system limitation

Example I have 3 goals of .5 .2 and .1 Outside the system I have done the proper weightings so the 3 data points just need to be added up to get to the correct target. However the system currently takes the average of the three numbers instead. I need to gross up each of the numbers above to be high enough when the average is calculated by the system, the goal still comes out to .9.

Thank you for any suggestions you might have.

A couple of corrections and clarifications

Apparently I can't add. The .9 should be .8 My bad sorry for the confusion.
The "system" is where I need to input the answer to my problem.

Example

Store A Goal = 0.5
Store B Goal = 0.2
Store C Goal = 0.1

Total of Stores Goals is 0.8 (0.5+0.2+0.1)

The issue is the system does not simply add them up. Rather it takes the average

I need help in figuring out what the 0.5 , 0.2, and 0.1 should increased (aka grossed up) to so when the "system" takes the average it still comes out to be 0.8

If you want to game the system to get a particular average but keep the relative values the same, you can just multiple the input. For example, you have 0.5, 0.2, and 0.1 which the system will average to get 0.8/3 and you would like to get the sum of 0.8 instead. Just multiply each of your inputs by the number of inputs, i.e. multiply by 3 in this case and input 1.5, 0.6, and 0.3 to get an average of 2.4/3 = 0.8. This will also work if you have a different number of inputs.
