Create a Formula for the Cast-off Width at the Front and Rear neck

How to calculate the cast-off width at the back neck:

The cast-off width at the back neck is calculated relative to the neck width.
[Cast-off width at back neck]/[Neck width] = k

In this case the desired relation is 3/4. Means k = 0.75.
[Cast-off Width at Back Neck] = [Neck Width]*0.75

How to calculate the cast-off width at the front neck:

The cast-off width at the front neck is calculated analogously to the cast-off width in the rear neck relative to the neck width. In this case k = 0.35.
[Cast-off width at front neck] = [Neck width]*0.35
