Formatting Percents

[Anon]

Let's say I have two variables.
$total = "100";
$possible = "110";

I want to divide the $total variable, divide it by the $possible variable, stick that result into $result, but have it formatted into percents. I have no idea how to do this. I've looked in the manual and couldn't find it. I know in ASP you would just do <% FormatPercent("Variablename") %>, but of course, we all know this is PHP.

Thanks!

No need for a function call. It is simple arithmetic.

<?
$total = 100;
$possible = 110;
$percent = 100 * $total / $possible;
echo "<br>Your score is $percent";
// if you want it rounded off, use round()
echo "<br>Your score is ", round($percent,2);
?>
