This code gave me 61.382:
<CFSEt var_rate = 9>
<cfset list.amt = 345.98>
<cfset form.ins_prepay = 250.00>
<CFOUTPUT>
((#var_rate#/10) * #list.amt#) - #form.ins_prepay#<BR><BR>
<cfset n_var_rate = #var_rate#/10>
((#n_var_rate#) * #list.amt#) - #form.ins_prepay#<BR><BR>
<cfset final_amount = ((#n_var_rate#*#list.amt#) - #form.ins_prepay#)>
#final_amount#
</cfoutput>
hope that helps

Subject: How to use decimals for calculation
I have a variable, #var_rate#, that is coming back from the table as a 9, 6
, 8 etc. It needs to be 9%, 6%, 8% and so on to be used in a formula:
("#var_rate#" * "#list.amt#") - "#form.ins_prepay#" .
How can I get this into the correct format for this calculation? Nothing
I've tried here at the end of the day when my brain is fried has worked.
Thanks,
Kim
