If Tryagain needs 3 hours to scrub the terras, and Mark needs 6 hours to scrub the same terras, and Whim needs 8 hours to scrub the same terras,
and Rap needs 10 hours to scrub the same terras, and Harry needs 15 hours to scrub the same terras.
How long do they need if they scrub the terras together?
Good, a proper job at last, what is the pay? Who the heck is Harry? Why is Rap so slow, he is not an engineer is he?
Now back to the %
Oh no! Mark has beaten me to it, and to make matters worse I have 1.68 hours.
I guess, that Harry character has confused you.

1/3+1/6+1/8+1/10+1/15=1/T
40/120+20/120+15/120+12/120+8/120=1/T
95/120=1/T
T=120/95=24/19 hrs
Try, RAP is an engineer. I'm in charge, I get to hold the clipboard.
