How to get number to show up in correct percentage notation.

farel

Hello,

I am trying to get a script to properly display a percentage. I divide two numbers and get 0.0324 for what should be 3.24 How can I get this to work right?

 $fin = 33 / 1019;
print ("$fin%");

Thanks in advance

33/(1019/100) would give the percentage

$fin = round( 33 / (1019/100),2);

print ("$fin%");

Actually, mathematically the same, but to keep it logical:

$fin = round( (33 / 1019) * 100 ),2);

Farel:
3.24 percent equals to 3.24 hundreth of one (= 0.0324). That is why you multiply with 100 to get the percentage
