Scaling between two number ranges

Question

I remember using an equation to do this at some point – how do you do this in Javascript?

Plugin two number ranges:

rangeX = 1 (through) 10;
rangeY =         


        

Answer 1

Use percentages:

xMax = 10;
xMin = 1;

yMax = 559.22;
yMin = 300.77;

percent = (inputY - yMin) / (yMax - yMin);
outputX = percent * (xMax - xMin) + xMin;
