Im trying to find a interest rate in my program. I need it to accept values like 6.9%. How do I multiply a number by a percent. Thanks

If you have a float with a percentage (like 6.9) in it, and call the percentage variable something like fPercent, you can do it like this:
Code:
fSmallValue = fLargeValue * fPercent/100.0f

If you want to try and preserve as much accuracy as possible:
Code:
fSmallValue = (fLargeValue * fPercent) / 100.0f;

If you want to preserve as much accuracy as possible, use doubles
