doing some playing around with math in asp and stuff... I'm trying to figure out an efficient way to calculate percentages...

What I've got so far is the simple stuff, divide the numerator by the denominator, then move the decimal 2 points right.

Only problem I've run into is moving the decimal 2 points to the right...

anyone know how I can do this?

Why not use FormatPercent ?

Response.Write FormatPercent(X/Y)

yes it does which is why I never use it. I figure if I need the % symbol, I will just concatenate it with the symbol.
