Default Allocating Intergers based on Relative Percentage

Here is the Scenario. I have 15 different locations all of different relative
size. I will be shipping inventory to those locations based on their relative
size. The relative size is expressed as their % of the sum of all stores.
Here is what I need. I want a formula to allocate the units. The trick is
that units are integers and all units must be allocated. No more and no less.
Here is some sample data

6 Units
1 6.7%
2 6.2%
3 12.6%
4 5.2%
5 2.7%
6 7.9%
7 5.5%
8 8.8%
9 5.0%
10 7.7%
11 3.7%
12 8.1%
13 9.1%
14 7.3%
15 3.5%


Stores 1 through 15 and their relative size. I have 6 units. What formula
can I use to fairly allocate them as whole numbers. We do not need to worry
about ties in the % values as they are all unique.

TIA...
