$5000 * 0.15% is the same as $5000 * 0.0015. A percent is just a number divided by 100, so 0.15% = 0.15/100 = 0.0015. |

You want to calculate 0.15% of $5000? Sure, that's equal to 5000 * 0.15/100 = $7.5. In code,
I just assumed your calculating interest, since 0.15% is pretty low. edit: Wow, nine minute delay. See guys, Firefox sucks. Look what tabbed browsing does to the internet! |

Actually, I think he may be talking about calculating tax on an item. In which case that's 15%. I think he's just confused about it. |
