Hi!
I was hoping to get some help with a percentage problem on some tests for job applications! I can't find any similar examples online which is annoying as I don't think its that complicated but I can't work it out
It is help with a style of questions which asks to find the percentages and put them into a pie chart. The issue is that some of the percentages rely on the other values. Here is the example I couldn't do:
If 20 reports were filed this week by different people, work out the percentage completed by each person:
Andrew - Submits 5 reports this week
Barbara - no information given
Charles - Submits two thirds (2/3) less reports than Barbara
Jane - reports five less reports than Charles
I tried using simultaneous equations to find what amount of the twenty each person had submitted but I couldn't get it right. If anyone could solve this or give some tips on how to solve similar problems it would be very much appreciated!
Also, this is my first post so if it is in the wrong category please let me know which one it should be in, thanks!
Many thanks in advance,
Alice
