You’re (accidentally) using integer division.
360 / 100is returning3, then3 * 50is of course150. To obtain a floating point result, try casting360or100to a float first, or just use a literal float – i.e.,360.0 / 100or360 / 100.0or even360.0 / 100.0.Or, as @KennyTM pointed out in a comment, you can reorder the statement such as
360 * 50 / 100— this is particularly useful if a floating-point number is unacceptable for any reason.
