Problem
There are n
workers. You are given two integer arrays quality
and wage
where quality[i]
is the quality of the ith
worker and wage[i]
is the minimum wage expectation for the ith
worker.
We want to hire exactly k
workers to form a paid group. To hire a group of k
workers, we must pay them according to the following rules:
- Every worker in the paid group must be paid at least their minimum wage expectation.
- In the group, each worker's pay must be directly proportional to their quality. This means if a worker’s quality is double that of another worker in the group, then they must be paid twice as much as the other worker.
Given the integer k
, return the least amount of money needed to form a paid group satisfying the above conditions. Answers within 10-5
of the actual answer will be accepted.
Example 1:
Input: quality = [10,20,5], wage = [70,50,30], k = 2 Output: 105.00000 Explanation: We pay 70 to 0th worker and 35 to 2nd worker.
Example 2:
Input: quality = [3,1,10,10,1], wage = [4,8,2,2,7], k = 3 Output: 30.66667 Explanation: We pay 4 to 0th worker, 13.33333 to 2nd and 3rd workers separately.
Constraints:
n == quality.length == wage.length
1 <= k <= n <= 104
1 <= quality[i], wage[i] <= 104
