I don’t think that the at-large delegates take away from the other delegates awarded, so you would have to add the at-large delegates to the number of other delegates to arrive at the number you should divide by. Also, in the calculation of a turnout of 800 per site, you would then need to divide by 10, not 5. This would still result in 720 delegates, not 1,450. As a percent of total delegates awarded, either way you wind up with 6.44%.

With 4000 caucus goers per site, you need to divide by 35, not 30. Also, you need to divide by (10446 + # of delegates from at large sites), as opposed to just 10,446.
The result would then be 8.95%.
