Subject: Not sure how to do this

Ok,

I need to optimise some code from the coldfusion server and make SQL do the
work, the problem is I have no idea how to attack this.

Here is my problem: I can have a table that returns these records

ID FromDay ToDay Amount IsDay
1       1       3       60      true
2     4     6     55    true
3     7     9     50    true
4     10    10    40    true

Or

ID FromDay ToDay Amount IsDay
1       1       3       60      true
2     4     7     55    true
3     8     9     0    true
4     10    10    40    true

Now the problem I have is that if I want to return data for 12 days, the
first example would be 12 * 40 = $480. The second one would we 10 x $40 =
400. The reason being is that there are 2 free days, but if it was 9 days
then it would be 7 * $55.

This is more complicated than this, but I think if I can begin to get this
happening then I might be able to look into the doing the rest.

Any ideas how to return just the $amount rather than all the rows based on
the number of days?

This really has me stumped, and it is sql server, any help would be
appreciated, thanks.
