Hi i am trying to generate a value based on a percentage. the formulae is percentage / 100 * Total

i use the normal / and * signes but it always returns a zero? i tried to use both a float and a double and no joy.

the problem lies within the division part has it returns zero whenever the correct value is less than 1.0 (ie 0.3, 0.23 etc)

example:

50 / 100 = 0.5

that 0.5 doesnt come up as that, it comes to zero all the time
