Re: [Flashcoders] Calculator
I really can't believe this reply chain has lasted this long. 450 is 15% of 3000. 0.5% of 3000 is 15. % simply means out of 100. 15/100 * 3000 = 450; 0.5/100 * 3000 = 15; The equations through most of these emails have been right. Nobody seems to actually be reading them. Jonathan said: sum/total * 100 = percentage Karl said: sum = percent*total/100 That's the same thing!!! Stop arguing. However Karl, I'd recommend, for simplicity, you don't separate the percent and the 100. So - (percent/100)*total | Not percent*total/100 It'll help when things get more complicated.

Re: [Flashcoders] Calculator
that's not finding out the percentage, you know the percentage, 15%. 15% means, 15 in every hundred right? so 15% of $3000 you find like this... (3000/100) * 15 = 450 (total/100) * percent = amount in plain english, first you need to divide the total by 100, to get 1% of 3000, 1 in every 100 of 3000. then once you have 1%, you multiply by 15 to get your 15%. as david said they're 2 different equations, one to find what percentage of a total a given amount is (which i explained before) and one to work out the amount of a total given a percentage.

Re: [Flashcoders] Calculator
Holy crap. Was there seriously just a thread about how to solve a percent value of a number? I've heard that education in America was bad, but this is like 7th grade pre-Algebra. x * y = z Therefore: x = z / y 3000 * y = 450 y = 450 / 3000 y = 0.15 or 15% ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] Calculator
True, true. One should think before they speak.. My question wasn't to try and relearn what I already had known, but in working on my calculator, I kept trying equations. I tried 15/3000 * 100 and it kept coming out 0.05 I tried 15*3000 / 100 and it came out 450, so I was a little baffled.. I knew it should be the other way and I got to Algebra 2 Trig in school, I was just drawing a blank at the time and made the mistake of asking the list. Now Steve thinks All americans are as dumb as me evidently be cause I did. And no, a war is not what I am looking for, just help. Even if I ask what 1 + 1 is, I should never get a response that Steve Sacks sent. And yes I have been helped from him before too, but like I said in the beginning of this message. One should think before they speak.. Thank you to those who did help me with my brain fart.

Re: [Flashcoders] Calculator
Right. I believe that one. So Steve, what is the correct equation for my code then. Since I'm dumb and your smart. Explain to me why you get 0.05 when you do it the way you say and you get 450 when you do it the retarded way I did it? We ALL know 15% of 3000 is 450. Even the mathematically challenged.

The regular math part I think I can figure out. Its not a complicated calc, just basic math and percentages calc, a payment calc if you will.
