excel formula question

We are looking for a way to find the weighted average of a series of numbers relative to a percentage.  We need the average of b17:e17 relative to c8:c:12.  We have attached a screenshot of the document.

Missing screenshot.

Usually doing sumproduct(range_values, range_Coefficients)/sum(values) works well for a weighted average

Thanks nutsch, I put divided by C12 as it is division by 100 as per the screenshot.
Screenshot is 100%, 100%=1.
My boss was very happy with those results and ended up with a 100 on his homework.  Thanks to you guys I have earned several brownie points :D He stated that while dhiraj05 provided very good insight, it was nutsch's solution that proved to be more complete (in his eyes) I am very ignorant when it comes to Excel and don't even understand the question that was posed, so I would like to ask you both how you would like the 500 points divvied up.
glad that I could be of any help :).. points distribution is up to you.
Likewise, just close it now and you'll make me a genius.
