How to take off a percentage?

[adamjblakey]

Hi,

I have the following values:

49.99
99.99
149.99
199.99

People can enter a coupon code to take away e.g. 10, 20, 30%

How would i take away one of the above percentages away from e.g. 199.99

Cheers,
Adam

10% of 199.99 = 199.99*(10/100) = 19.999

Are you asking this or something else?

[adamjblakey]

10% of 199.99 = 199.99*(10/100) = 19.999

Are you asking this or something else?

Yes thanks but what i need it to is e.g.

If i do this

$total = 199.99;
$maintotal = $total*(50/100);

Then i get back 75 but what i need back is 74.99

Any ideas?

I think there's something wrong with server that it gives 75 when you process the above said equation.

A function known as round() is used, but to convert 74.99 to 75, not the other way.

You may tell more detail about the problem, then I can help you.

There is definitely something wrong. The following results 99.995[php]<?php
echo 199.99*(50/100);
//result = 99.995
?>[/php]Ronald
