To avoid getting an integer result you need to introduce a non-integer. 

You could use:

eq=PercentAddition/100.0

or 

eq=PercentAddition/float(100)

or

eq=float(PercentAddition)/100



But this won't work because the result is already an integer before you take the 
'float' of it:

eq=float(PercentAddition/100)
