I'm not sure how you get 0 from your put expression.
It should give you 30
The problems you are having are confusing interger math with floating point
math.
try the following
put (2/2)
--1
put (3/2)
--1
put (4/2)
--2
see what is happening, the answer gets rounded down, that is integer math
Now assuming a floatprecision of 4
put float(2)/2
--1.0000
put float(3)/2
--1.5000
put float(4)/2
--2.0000
that is floating point math. But note how the float goes around only one number
(doesn't matter which one) if you did this:
put float(3/2)
--1.0000
What happened here, we first director did integer math on the 3/2 giving 1 and
then changed that interger to a floating number
1.0000
so in your example
30*(1+(50/100))
the 50/100 would give you 0 based on integer math so you get
30*(1+0)
--30
