Hello everyone. I really could use some help figuring out a payout calculation for a weekly split of funds based on nightly participation.

Here's my problem, I have to split a set amount of funds each week between a random # of people. I want to award diff amounts based on 3, 4 and 5 nights of participation. Every week is different for the total amount of people.

example: week earned let's say 300$and 28 people total 15 people at 5 nights earn the most 10 people at 4 nights earning less than 5 nights 3 people at 3 nights earning less than 4 nights I want a simple formula I can enter into Excel for ease of use Thank you very much in advance 2.

I think, to be fair, the payout would be $5x$ for 15 people,
$4x$ for 10 people, and $3x$ for 3 people.

So you have the sum $5x\cdot{15}+ 4x\cdot{10} + 3x\cdot{3}= 75x + 40x + 9x = 124x = 300$.
