Most esteemed monks...
I humbly ask for guidance in the following matter...
I buy some commodity at the following prices:
Qty @ Price
5 @ 93.8
20 @ 93.81
10 @ 93.82
15 @ 93.83
25 @ 93.84
5 @ 93.85
20 @ 93.87
5 @ 94
35 @ 94.1
10 @ 94.2
The average of these (150) fragments is 93.92666667.
These fragments need to be allocated to 5 people in the following quantities:
Person/Qty
A/65
B/12
C/24
D/19
E/30
How do I allocate the fragments as fairly as possible such that the average price for each person is closest to the overall average?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
