Re: Math Question
Just invert the golf percentage after you calculate it. Subtract your normalized golf score from 100 to get them into the same range.
Look at the worst cases. If you shoot a 60 in golf, that's the 'best' score in your range. That should map to 100%, but using your equations it maps to 0%. Similarly, if you look at the 'worst' score, 150, that calculates to 100%. Both of those are obviously wrong.
Also, just looking at the numbers you computed for your golf scores, Don shot a better game but got a lower score. That just doesn't seem right.
Use your equations for the golf scores, then subtract from 100.
If you want to map the combined scores to a range of 0-100, then an average of the two computed values is probably what you want. Just add the bowling and golf scores and divide by 2. Just adding them won't be in the range of 0-100 like you implied you wanted... think of the case where one player shoots/bowls a perfect game in both games. They'd have a normalized score of 100 in both games... which adds to 200 in your math.
