Dividing results in a table

[netfrugal]

I have no idea how to begin with this one.

I have 412 records in a table ($total = 412). Tomorrow it may be more or less. So the number changes.
My goal is to divide that number into percentages.

For example:

43% of $total will go to Matt. (82.4 records)
20% of $total will go to Amy. (152.44 records)
37% of $total will go to Jack. (177.16 records)

I'm basically trying to divide the total number to be assigned to different reps.

However, the next day I may need to divide the new $total into 4 parts, or maybe 5. But it will always equal 100% of the $total.

Any ideas of how this can be accomplished?

Hi,
I would...

1) Find the amount of records (412)

$total = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table");

2) Divide 100 by amount of records

$total = 100/$total;

2) Get total amount of users records and multiply by step 2 result.

// Get users amount of records

[code=php]$user_percentage = $users_total_records * $total;

Here you have a percentage
