    To calculate for the demand for August, we should consider that the formula should be in the form:

    Demand for August = Summation (Weight ratio * Demand)

    Where: weight ratio = weight of that month / total weight of 3 months

    Demand for August = (5/9) * 3000 + (3/9) * 2200 + (1/9) * 1000

    Demand for August = 2511
