Dear Jerry, I thought I fixed this typo: 's = v = 80' should read 'c+v=80'. I agree there are no obvious answers but it does raise a question to think about, Cheers, Ian > > Let s = 10, s = v = 80, and u = 2. Then s-u/(c+v) =10%, >> s-u/(s+v+u) = 9.75% , while s/(c+v+u) = 12.2%. > >Hi Ian > >You're right - I plugged in different numbers (and a positive ># for c) and there are different results using the different >formulas. Thanks. But, it doesn't in any way resolve the issue the >issue of which is the desired formula - as you recognize. > >In solidarity, Jerry -- Associate Professor Ian Hunt, Dept of Philosophy, School of Humanities, Director, Centre for Applied Philosophy, Flinders University of SA, Humanities Building, Bedford Park, SA, 5042, Ph: (08) 8201 2054 Fax: (08) 8201 2784
