Here is my problem:

There are 13 people who share a commission off of one big revenue pool.

Based on their performance, they are ranked #1 through #13.

Each of them takes a percentage of the revenue based on their ranking (#1 gets the biggest percentage, #13 gets the smallest percentage).

I want #1 to get 15%.
I want #13 to get 1%.

Is there a mathematical formula to figure out what percentage I can I can give to #2 through #12 in which the sum of all the percentages, including the 1% and 15% equals 100%?

It’s easy to get the numbers to distribute evenly from 1% to 15% using a contant rate of increase of 1.6666666% for each consecutive ranking but the sum of all the percentages equals 104%. Is there a parabolic way to figure out how to distribute the percentages?

I have this research and i want to rank them. My research is about the Commonly used Electronic Funds Transfer as perceived by Students in our Campus. There 6 EFT’s that are available in our campus (ex. ATM, Smart Money, Western Union..etc.) They will just check those enumerated EFT that they are using. I just want to know the basic formula for ranking.

What ranking of universities is the most highly regarded? Which is considered the best? Which is credited to most?

US News and WR?
The Times ranking?
Academic Ranking of World Universities?
Really? I heard that the school/degree matters more than your individual study.

What about internationally? I don’t plan to work in the US. Which ranking is then given most credit? THES – QS World University Rankings?

More specifically I would like to know America’s ranking after the French and Indian War and after the Gadsden Purchase in 1853.

What mode do you have to play in too see your ranking, I know on xbox you just press yellow after quickplay to go to the leaderboards, but that isn’t in option on the wii.

Help?

I want to enroll my soon to be three year old in pre-school. I want to send her to a good school because I don’t want to have to keep moving her from school to school after I find things out about the school. Is there a website I can go on that will tell me the school local and national ranking along with test scores and stuff.
