Peter, Here's some code that might help you get what you're after:
<cfset weight = 250> <cfset percent_change = 107/1000> <cfset final_weight = weight + (weight * percent_change)> <cfoutput> The original weight is #weight# grams<br> The percent change is #NumberFormat(percent_change * 100, "99.9")#%<br> The percent change reflects an increase, therefore the final weight is #NumberFormat(final_weight,"999.99")#<br><br> </cfoutput> <cfset percent_change = 154/1000> <cfset final_weight = weight - (weight * percent_change)> <cfoutput> The original weight is #weight# grams<br> The percent change is #NumberFormat(percent_change * 100, "99.9")#%<br> The percent change reflects a decrease, therefore the final weight is #NumberFormat(final_weight,"999.99")#<br> </cfoutput> Dina ----- Original Message ----- From: Tilbrook, Peter To: CF-Talk Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 8:02 PM Subject: Percent calculation Hi there! I need to find the percentage of a value in ColdFusion but have been getting inconsistent results. eg: Initial Weight: 250 grams Weight Change: 10.7% Final Weight (would be 250 grams plus 10.7%): ?? and also for subtracting (weight reduction), eg: Initial Weight: 250 grams Weight Change: -15.4% Final Weight (would be 250 grams minus 15.4%): ??
