Waec Model Questions Vol1 2020 Civic Education Question 37

Three groups - A, B and C - are negotiating a peace treaty. Each group will accept the treaty only if it compromises at least a certain percentage of its original demands: • Group A: minimum 40 %\n• Group B: minimum 35 %\n• Group C: minimum 45 % The total of the three groups' compromises must not exceed 130 % of the combined original demands. If any group compromises by **more than 10 %** above its minimum, the other two groups each must raise their own minimum compromise by an additional 5 % (to reflect perceived imbalance). All compromise percentages are whole numbers. What is the greatest possible average compromise (in percent) that can be achieved while satisfying all the conditions? State whether a treaty is possible and give the maximum average compromise (rounded to two decimal places).
