Trying to get the percentage of rent for a property in php. Im completely lost ....

 

<?php

$purchase = 44000;
$rent = 9860;

$percent = $purchase * $rent; //this is wrong, it returns 4.3 but should be over 18

echo "Percentage is {$percent}%";

?>

i think this is what your looking for, but i dont know anything about what percentage you want. What this percentage is telling yo is that the rent is 22% percent of the total purchase price. I am not sure if this is what you are looking for

<?php

$purchase = 44000;
$rent = 9860;

$percent = round($rent / $purchase * 100, 2); //this is wrong, it returns 4.3 but should be over 18

echo "Percentage is {$percent}%";

?>
