find value for percentile cut-off

given a range of values, find the max value just before a percentile, say 1% , used to divide a range into two bins or set an upper limit. If a whole number is sent, the percentiles are sequenced by 1% (0, 1..98, 98, 100) Ff a non-whole number is sent like 2.25% or 0.25% then the percentiles are divided into finer resolution (e.g per 0.25%)
