A large portion of fruits and veggies grown in the U$.$S$.$ don't meet cosmetic standards $$ the crooked carrot, the curvy cucumber, the undersized apple $$ usually causing them to go to waste. UglyFoods is a business that buys and distributes these food items. UglyFoods is running a warehouse in Utah with several SKUs that vary along different metrics. To date, the company has been treating all SKUs the same, but now they are growing and need to make sure this choice is still right.

Ernest Roberts, the operations manager, asks you to analyze a sample of representative SKUs and see if segmentation is necessary for better management of operational costs. He adds that the most important factors that drive operational costs are the value and weight of SKUs. He gives you the following data:

SKU Number of Items Value $($$$/$item$)$ Weight $($lb$/$item$)$

A $2206350$

B $225357$

C $2452065$

D $145745$

E $2302540$

F $2409052$

Answer the following questions based on the above sample.

What percentage of the total value of inventory is accounted for by the top $2$ SKUs ranked by total value of items?

Write your answer as a decimal number with $4$ decimal places $($e$.$g$.$ if the result is $94\mathrm{.}672\%,$ write $0\mathrm{.}9467$ in the answer box$).$

Ernest Roberts calls you from Utah to thank you for your work, and requests you to do an ABC analysis. Ernest adds that the company typically does ABC analysis such that the A segment $($all A items together$)$ accounts for at least $70\%$ of value, B segment for at least $15\%$ and C segment for at most $10\%$ of value.

Imagine, you want to first do the ABC analysis based on SKU value.

What percentage of the total number of items is accounted for by SKUs in segment B$?$
