# 1

int percent = (int) number*100;

That casts number to an int (which rounds it down to 0) then multiplies it by 100.

int percent = (int) (number*100.0);

That does the multiplication on floating point types, then casts the result to an int, truncating the decimal part.

If it's for display purposes, look at NumberFormat.getPercentInstance().
