EDIT: For DBP, forgot to put it in...

I made this for a little program im making because i couldnt find one on here that really worked, especialy with floats...



its best used with floats..

usage can be like -



which would return 50 (u could use any other number also, 200% would double it and make 200)

you could also use it to take away a percentage from a number like so



as you can see it can be pretty useful for multiple things..

C&C Welcome

In it's current state it's somewhat pointless, because to find a percent of a value, you can multiply the value by the percent in decimal form, i.e. 40% of 100 is 100 * 0.40.

However it can be improved if you use a start and end value:



That way you could find, say, the value that's 40% of the way from 100 to 200 using Percent(100,200,40).

At least if someone uses the search button they will find two ways of doing it here.
