No, that makes TOTAL sense.
but why does 15/3000*100 = 0.5?
15% of $3,000 dollars is not 5ยข its $450

Maybe my mac calculator is broken?
Frustrating..

percent = percento = per cento = for/in every 100
so when you say 15% you are saying 15 in every 100. soooo....
if i have 100 apples and 25 of them are red...
(25 / 100) * 100 = 25% of the apples are red.
if i have 200 apples and 25 of them are red...
(25 / 200) * 100 = 12.5% of the apples are red.
(amount / total) * 100 = %.
hth.

Hmmm, thats interesting then.
I did a search on google for "15 percent of 3000" and it came back
with
450.
I am thinking google doesn't have it wrong, but whoo knows.
When I run the script with those parameters, it equates correctly
15 * 3000 / 100 = 450 (15% of 3000)
however 15 / 3000 * 100 = 0.5
What am I missing here then if it is not percent*total/100?

Hey Jonathan,
Isn't it sum*total / 100 = percentage?
