Question : A Simple formula for percentage.

I feel really silly asking this question.

What is the formula for percentage?  If I have a total of 1251 and sold 47 what is the percentage of tickets sold.

Thank you for not laughing too hard.

Answer : A Simple formula for percentage.

You need to multiply 24 by 100 and then divide by 1251 (or divide and then multiply, doesn't matter).

For example:

SELECT CAST((CAST(47 AS DECIMAL(5, 2)) * 100) / 1251 AS DECIMAL(5, 1))
