Well you need more information because what is 5000 a percent of? 10000 dollars?

$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,

Turing:

var interest := 5000 * 0.15 / 100

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.

Isn't tax 14% now?
