What is the formula to apply a weighting to 2 fractions individually to get the same answer if you weight their product? In the example below 50% * 100% = 50%. Multiplied times 80% (weighting) the answer is 40%. What formula can be used to multiply 50% and 100% individually to also arrive at 40% when you multiply the result. Example: (50% * A) = X and (100% * B) = Y; and X * Y = 40%. I am looking for the formula to arrive at A and B.
Value 1 50.0% Value 2 100.0% Product of 1 and 2 50.0% Weighting 80% Weighting * Product 40%
Weighting
A? X = Value 1 * Weighting A
B? Y = Value 2 * Weighting B
X * Y = 40%
