Default Brain Teaser

A small example follows. the avg. rate is 17.00 for dept. Want to move
average rate up to 17.51 (3% jump). To make it easy want to change the rate
for the highest rate or highest hours rate.
(Row) (Col b) (Col c) (Col d)
3) Hours Rate Total
4) 10400 17.20 178,880
5) 2080 16.95 35,256
1560 15.75 24,570
T O T A L
14040 17.00 238,706
I have tried using max for highest, vlookup and use the max for the formula
but cannot get the thing to work for either dollars or hours. Just want to
increase ONE so total avg. is 17.51..
