[SOLVED] Need help with converting % to dec.

[mazman13]

Ok I'm writing a CSI program for a body shop and need to be able to take % from the data they receive.

 

This works well:

 

EI:

 

$yes = "30";

$total = "170";

 

$newtotal = ($yes * 100) / $total;

 

echo"$newtotal%";

 

Answer is: 17.647058823529411764705882352941%

 

How can I get the answer to just get:

17.6%?

 

Any ideas to limit this string?

Thanks

How about this mate?

 

$yes = "30";
$total = "170";

$newtotal = ($yes * 100) / $total;

$decimal = round($newtotal, 1);

echo"$newtotal%";

Another option is number_format()

 

$newtotal = number_format( ($yes*100/$total), 1) . '%';
