An IT support desk receives two types of tickets: hardware (H) and software (S). Historical data shows that 60 % of tickets are hardware and 40 % are software. For hardware tickets, 70 % are resolved on the first call with an average handling time of 12 minutes; the remaining 30 % require escalation, adding an extra 20 minutes after the first call (the first call still takes 12 minutes). For software tickets, 50 % are resolved on the first call with an average handling time of 8 minutes; the remaining 50 % need a follow‑up call adding 15 minutes after the first call (the first call still takes 8 minutes). Assuming tickets are independent, what is the overall average handling time per ticket (in minutes)?
