I need some help figuring out the formula to calculate these values. The answer would be in column V

Class Rank %
Top 10%
Top 25%
2nd Quartile
3rd & 4th Quartile
No Rank

These are examples of my spreadsheet
S T U
Class Rank from ApplicationOut of Class TotalClass Rank %
N/AN/ANo Rank

609067%
2825011%

Thank you so much!
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Was not sure what you needed, so here are two options I was able to think of. If you have more information for us to better understand what you require, please let us know.
Option 1 is just an indicator to say which group the given percentage falls within.
Option 2 uses the class total to determine what value would be needed to fit within each group.
