There are a couple of issues here. One is that this is a very long problem that I could sit down and work with someone on for like an hour in person. It's just way too much for a forum like this. Also, I'm certainly not going to just go through and work all this out for you and give an answer. I'm here to help people learn, not do their homework for them.

You need to narrow this down somehow. And do you have any of it done? If so, post what you have and it can be checked.
