"A" x 0.15 Note: number must be same as shown in Step 2	63,618,647
Subtract "C" Note: number must be same as shown in Step 3	58,947,372

Step 1: Calculate "A", the base figure from which the placement capacity is calculated
"A" Note: number must be same as shown in Step 1 of Part 1	424,124,319
Step 2: Calculate 10% of "A"
"D"	0.10 Note: this value cannot be changed
