OK I can find the percentage of a number against another:
Lets say A=45 and B=90
Label1.text = A * 100 \ B
The answer would be 50, as 45 is 50% of 90
How do I go the other way?
I have the percentage, 50%, what calculation do I do to tell me that 50% of 90 is 45?
Thanks
It's OK, got it now.
Remember School House Rock? - conjunction junction what's you're function and all that. Maybe I'm just old.
What Percent * What Amount = How Much
So if you have the percent (.5) times the amount (90) = 45
If you need What Amount and have How Much and What Percent, you would need to divide both sides of the equal sign by What Percent, it then becomes
What Amount = How Much / What Percent or
What Amount = 45 / .5 = 90
etcetera...
I still figure out how many days are in a month by counting knuckles too :)
