The problem with what you are asking, and btw this is not only limited to your post as I have seen others try to do the same, is that Amazon rankings by nature are ordinal data. Ordinal data gives us the order of how each SKU is doing but it does not give us distances.Thus, we cannot predict exact sales numbers based on it. Beyond that we also do not know how much the sales would be if we combine the various SKUs together, again because we lack exact unit numbers.
