Or, more simply:
R> a <- c(0.0000, 0.0909, 0.0909, 0.1818, 0.2727, 0.3636, 0.4545,
0.6363, 0.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000, 0.000)
R> b <- c(3, 5, 7, 18, 43, 85, 91, 98, 100, 130, 230, 487)
R> b[a > .5]
[1] 98
Won't fail ungraciously if there is no solution:
R> b[a > .8]
numeric(0)
Is that what you're after?
