30%*5%+20%*8%+40%*12%+10%*15% = 9.4%

Maratikus, I used the same formula and got the same answer but that answer is wrong… I can send you the correct calculations but would like to wait for few responses before I do that…

#5

I like m’s answer too

Here is their (Adar Review) explanation 12.35% = 0.5*0.1 + 0.3*0.12 + 0.15*0.15 + 0.05*0.3 = 12.350% I have no clue how did they get this numbers…
