SUMMARY
This discussion addresses the method for redistributing percentages while anchoring a specific value, specifically anchoring "0" to 10% and ensuring the total remains 100%. The original distribution was 33%, 28%, 21%, 11%, and 7% for values 0 through 4. The proposed solution involves calculating the new percentages for values "1" through "4" based on their original ratios relative to the remaining total after anchoring "0". The final redistributed percentages are 10%, 37.6%, 28.2%, 14.8%, and 9.4% respectively.
