MATH PROBLEM:
I have 1000 light bulbs.
I need to put all of them into light fixtures that hold the following number of lights:
8 lights per fixture
4 lights per fixture
2 lights per fixture
1 light per fixture
I need to know how to allot the lights to the fixtures when:
60% of the fixtures are 8-lights
14% of the fixtures are 4-lights
14% of the fixtures are 2-lights
12% of the fixtures are 1-light
I cannot wrap my mind around how to write a formula to accomplish this. I will be using this formula on a list of 40 different light bulb totals. Example: "John has 1000 lights, Mary has 3115 lights, Jimmy has 5900 lights, how many fixtures of each type will they each end up with?"
