If 5*round(100/6) was the way to compute the result, then the entire problem would be trivial, since the answer would always be n*round(100/n), regardless of how the voters chose results. You want round(5*100/6). Compute the percentage 5*100/6 = 83.333...% and then round it to an integer number

No. If five people choose one language and one chooses another, than the language with 5 people represents 5/6 = 83.33...% and you get 83 + 17 = 100. If six people all chose different languages then each of six languages would have 17% and the total would be 102, but that option is not available

In Sample Case #3, one optimal scenario is as follows: each of the remaining two people chooses an unchosen language, so the rounded percentages add up to 50 + 17 + 17 + 17 = 101. if 5 people chooses same language and one person chooses different one then the result=102 5*17+17=102 Regards

Hello Sir, Rounding Error:- My understanding is we need to maximize the sum of n values of 100/n,if it is below 100% please let me know ,my understanding is correct or not Regards Samuel On Mon, Apr 30, 2018 at 8:33 AM, Si wrote: > Hi, I think I test all the cases but I
