Question

How do I add a percentage of a value to itself using LINQ? For example, say the price is £10. Adding 6% of that price to itself gives £10.60. My code would look something like this, although I want to perform this calculation within an insert statement.

aPrice + aPercentage = bPrice

Answer 1

the usual way of doing this is to do

newPrice = price *1.06M;

If you have a value as a percentage between 0 and 100 then do the following:

Decimal newPrice *= 1.0M + (PercentageVakye / 100M);

NOTE: always use Decimal not Double when working with Prices.
