Hoping someone can help with following 2 points on question detailed below:
1) Help to clarify what kind of question this is (e.g. ratio problem) so I could plug into google and get meaningful insight. Had to supply a 'tag' to post this question so guessed with 'ratio'.
2) Help solve specific example below.
Set-up Question (version that I know how to do)
Lets say I own a business that provides 3 services, and expect employees to be able to do x per hour based on below.
1) Walk dogs -> expected rate is 1 per hour
2) Wash cars -> expected rate is 1 per hour
3) Clean houses -> expected rate is 1 per hour
Now lets say I have an employee that works 40hrs per week and he walked 10 dogs, washed 15 cars, and cleaned 5 houses. His production against a goal of 100% would be 10(dogs)+15(cars)+5(houses)/40(hr work week) = 75%. So basically, he only reached 75% of the goal for that week.
Real Question (that I need help with)
The exact question from above, except now the expected rates per job type are different:
1) Walk dogs -> expected rate is 3 per hour
2) Wash cars -> expected rate is 2 per hour
3) Clean houses -> expected rate is 1 per hour
I appreciate any help in understanding 'what' kind of problem this is and how to solve!
