Story Problem
Remember "percentage" means "parts per 100," so to calculate
"how many" given a percentage you have to divide by 100:
LET Discard = TotalChocolates * (DiscardPercent / 100)
- DiscardPercent is 45.
- DiscardPercent / 100 is 0.45 – the fraction to discard.
- TotalChocolates * (DiscardPercent / 100) is 200 * 0.45 = 90
The program writes:
You will eat 110 chocolates and throw away 90 chocolates.
