Ok thank you very much for your addition.
The other way does seem to produce the right result in about 2 lines! When you have many of these calcs to do, two lines seem a little 'tidier'.

But I did ask how your way was better, or if it is more accurate etc.

I guess the 'better' would depend on the criteria, (in this case amount of code) then no, it's not better. As for more accurate, i think the accuracy is the same because the base formula for determining a percentage is pretty standard, as are the results. :) Hope this answers the question you asked
