How to add specific rows that meet a condition?

Hi,
I have two column vectors dim 98x1 one is the unique values of an array (A) and the other is the percentage that these values occur (B). What I am trying to get is to sum the percentile values that are between 0-1 of the unique values and then 1-2 and so on. So that I have the percentile values of occurrence for everything =<1, =<2, ..., =<26 Here is an example of what I am trying to do,
%
A = [0.1 0.5 1.0 1.2 1.6 2.0]' % The unique values
B = [50.3 3.0 2.5 2.4 1.8 1.4]' % The percentile values
C = [55.8 5.6] % The percentile values that are in the range specified
So far I have been working with the following loop
%
for i = 1:size(A,1)
for j = 0:25
if A <= i & A >= j
C(i,j) = sum(B(j,i);
end
end
end
Not entirely sure I I am going the right way about this. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

How about just
[sum(B(A<=1)) sum(B(A>1 & A<=2))]

Thanks this works a treat, however, I am trying to incorporate it into a for loop to complete multiple iterations but I'm having difficulty getting it to move to the next column. I've put it in like this,
%
for i = 1:26
for j = 2:27
C = [sum(B(A<=1)) sum(B(A>i & A<=j))]
end
end

N = 1:26;
C =sum(bsxfun(@times,bsxfun(@le,A,N),B));

This adds the first values together in the range of 0-1 but for 1-2 it adds the first set of values. Is there anyway to separate between each range?

@Thomas: My apologies. Forget that solution I gave you. My head was not on straight this morning. There is a valid method using 'histc' and 'accumarray', but you might as well use obvious methods with for-loops for this unless your data is very large. (Let me know if you want to know the 'histc-accumarray' method.)
