Yes it matters!
63 x 1/9 x W + 82 x 1/12 x (552 - W))
so you can simplify the 63 with the 9 and the 82 with the 12
7 x W + 7 x (552 - W)
Actually at the end you have just to multiply 7x552 and you get the number

well and that is my answer.
Ok, now I got it. As @cryptokas mentioned.... The puzzle would still work with any numbers for the bonuses but with these two numbers this nice shortcut is possible... Ooouukaaaay... :D
The idea is to have the two numbers multiples of one single number, in this case 7.
AAAAND.... based on the first numbers, 49 and 84, I had the correct answer! Just saying... ;)
