To calculate the service errors per 100 customers for division B we need

X: number of customers of division B
Y: number of service errors of division B.

St 1: combined service error rate for A and B = 1.5/100

(86+y)/(4850+x) = 1.5/100

We still have 2 unknowns---INSUFF

St 2: X = 9350
We still don't know anything about Y.---INSUFF

Combining 1 and 2

We can substitute x in the equation and solve for y. Since we can then determine all the unknown variables we can determine the service-error rate.
