    Hello,
    please help me with this past exam (I found it in BPP revision kit).
    I have problem with “leather” calculation (2*10*100/80)
    Why 100/80?

    Thank you in advance,

    For every 100 metres of leather bought, 20 metres are wasted and therefore only 80 are available for production.

    Putting it the other way round, for every 80 needed for production, they need to buy 100 metres.

    So if 2 metres are needed for production, they need to buy 100/80 x 2 metres

    Very well said,, I am thinking that this questionnaire will possibly be out again because it looks like a unique hard questions to answer.

    The problem with the leather has been quite a common problem in the exam – the idea has often been asked.

    For every 100 metres of leather bought, 20 metres are wasted and therefore only 80 are available for production or for every 80 needed for production, they need to buy 100 metres.

    So if 26 metres are needed for production, they need to buy 100/80 x 26 metres which equals 32.5 metres.
