PeterYou need to recharge service centre S2 to the other centres using the %’ages given.
Then you need to recharge the resulting total for service centre S1 to the other centres, again using the %’ages given.
Then you can add up for C1 and you will have the answer you need.
You really need to watch my free lectures on this (it is chapter 8 of the free lecture notes and the lectures that go with them), because all of this is explained (with examples) and I cannot type out the whole of the lecture here.
(My lectures are a complete free course for Paper F2 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.)
