I had $total where I should have had $remain_percent.
Oh well... It's the little things....
Now I just got to format results like 0.73333333333333% and I should be good to go...

What's your exact code, Pat?
I get 0.44:
<?php
$remaining = 11;
$total = 25 ;
$remain_percent = $remaining / $total;
echo $remain_percent ; // returns 0.44
?>
