Passage Summary: Chefs want a 10% raise while managers want 8%. Based on these percentages, the author claims the chefs are asking for more actual money on average than the managers are.

Conclusion: The average dollar amount of the requested raises for chefs is higher than that for hotel managers.

Reasoning: The percentage increase requested by the Chefs' Union (10%) is higher than the percentage increase requested by the Hotel Managers' Union (8%).

Analysis: This argument falls into a classic trap: confusing percentages with absolute dollar amounts. A 10% raise on a $20,000 salary is much less than an 8% raise on a $100,000 salary. To strengthen the conclusion, we need to bridge the gap between the percentage and the total. Look for an answer that tells us the starting salaries of the chefs are at least close to, or higher than, the salaries of the managers.
