I think I solved it, but the rounding is causing me problems? I included my work at the end. Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

I tried 0.097, 0.098, 10.000 and none of these were the answer.

Each day, a FedEx competitor processes approximately 75,000 shipments. Suppose that they use the same Service Quality Index as FedEx and identified the following numbers of errors during a 5-day week (see the "FedEx: Measuring Service Performance" box). These values are hypothetical and do not reflect any real companys actual performance.

Description Weight Number of Errors
Complaints reopened 3 110
Damaged packages 10 18
International 1 108
Invoice adjustments 1 283
Late pickup stops 3 206
Lost packages 10 4
Missed proof of delivery 1 22
Right date late 1 755
Traces 3 118
Wrong day late 5 20

Compute the Service Quality Indicator by finding the weighted sum of errors as a percentage of total shipments. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Service Quality Indicator (SQI): 0.0979 rounded to 0.098 ( is my answer) my work is below

73.4211 divided by 75,000 * 100

round your answer to three decimals places
