The way to minimize the number who have all four wounds is to "give" three wounds to as many people as possible.<br /><br />Let this number of people be called u. Let v stand for the number of people that have four wounds.<br /><br />3u + v = 310<br /><br />or<br /><br />u = (310-v)/3<br /><br />The smallest v that generates an integral u (which also must be <= 100) is 10. So, 10 out of the 100, i.e. 10%, have all four wounds.Tinyc Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01754672611765154678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4679715190635795973.post-25103348850417741312009-06-10T10:14:38.530-07:002009-06-10T10:14:38.530-07:00Number of people with NO eye injury 30%
