Take this number, and use it twice- to find out the ranges.
First times the result by .65 (65%)
Then add your RHR BACK IN,
and you will have the low end of your target.

Use the number the second time, and times by .90 (90%)
Again, add your RHR back in.
This will give you the high end of your target.
