Answer 1

Well, I would use the formula

((input - min) * 100) / (max - min)

For your example it would be

((65 - 46) * 100) / (195 - 46) = 12.75

Or a little bit longer

range = max - min
correctedStartValue = input - min
percentage = (correctedStartValue * 100) / range

If you already have the percentage and you're looking for the "input value" in a given range, then you can use the adjusted formula provided by Dustin in the comments:

value = (percentage * (max - min) / 100) + min
