Question

I have the following SQL query that comes out at 700

declare @a decimal(10,0)
declare @b decimal(10,0)

set @a = 100 - 2 
set @a = @a / 14
set @a = @a * 100

set @a = ((100 - 2) / 14) * 100

select @a

What i am looking for it do is return 85.714285 etc…

Not quite sure where i going wrong.

Thanks

Answer 1

700 is the correct result.

Please check again!

((100 - 2) / 14) * 100 = 700

You calculated that

100 - 2 / 14 * 100 = 85,...

You want to use this sql query.

set @a = 100 - 2.0 / 14 * 100
