Both of the questions you asked can be solved with cross multiplication. I'd look it up and come back to the code later

if thats it then do it, I'm still unsure what they want. why not just give percentages in the first place then? To just have irrelevant information to distract you? I guess I just don't understand the wording.

Like in school for a particular subject in a semester you have multiple tests like viva, unit test, practicals and Mains. If suppose each of the individual tests were conducted out of 100 marks. However, each of those 4 test have their own weightage in final scoring which is going to be out of 100. Here you will always observe that total of weightages is 100% I think this should clear your doubt.
