MHB Redistributing Percentages: How to Anchor 0 to 10% and Maintain a Total of 100%

[kris123]

Hi everyone,

I have a questions. I have these percentages. If I want to anchor 0 to 10%, how do I redistribute the rest of the percentages to still equal 100?

0 33%
1 28%
2 21%
3 11%
4 7%Thanks!

Background information as to how the present
distribution was arrived at is required.

Like if 100 apples are used, "0" gives away 23
leaving 10: how is the 23 distributed?

Possibly 28% (23 * .28 = 6.44...so 6?)
to "1", similarly for the others.

A possibility is:
"1" to "4" = 28+21+11+7 = 67
"1"'s ratio: 28/67 ; applying to the 33-10 = 23:
28/67 * 23 = 9.6 : so "1" becomes 28+9.6 = 37.6
Similarly: "2" = 28.2, "3" = 14.8, "4" = 9.4

So new breakdown:
0 10
1 37.6
2 28.2
3 14.8
4 09.4
====
100.0
