Thank you for visiting the Q&A section on Magenaut. Please note that all the answers may not help you solve the issue immediately. So please treat them as advisements. If you found the post helpful (or not), leave a comment & I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Method 1

Using Math.Round():

int percentComplete = (int)Math.Round((double)(100 * complete) / total);

or manually rounding:

int percentComplete = (int)(0.5f + ((100f * complete) / total));

Method 2

(current / maximum) * 100. In your case, (2 / 10) * 100.

Method 3

With C# String formatting you can avoid the multiplication by 100 as it will make the code shorter and cleaner especially because of less brackets and also the rounding up code can be avoided.

(current / maximum).ToString("0.00%");

// Output – 16.67%

Method 4

Mathematically, to get percentage from two numbers:

percentage = (yourNumber / totalNumber) * 100;

And also, to calculate from a percentage :

number = (percentage / 100) * totalNumber;

Method 5

You can hold onto the percentage as decimal (value total) and then when you want to render to a human you can make use of Habeeb’s answer or using string interpolation you could have something even cleaner:

var displayPercentage = $"{(decimal)value / total:P}";

or

//Calculate percentage earlier in code
decimal percentage = (decimal)value / total;
...
//Now render percentage
var displayPercentage = $"{percentage:P}";

Method 6

Bear in mind that you may need to cast one of the numbers to double if you have two ints

(double)i / events.Count * 100

Method 7

In my case, I set two ints, and trying to calculate the percentage, and always get 0;

my code (before)

int Ff_Crm_Count = Ff_Crm.Count();
int Unfollowed_Ff_Crm_Count = Unfollowed_Ff_Crm.Count();
int The_Percentage = (Unfollowed_Ff_Crm_Count / Ff_Crm_Count) * 100);

after doing research (after)

double Ff_Crm_Count = Ff_Crm.Count();
double Unfollowed_Ff_Crm_Count = Unfollowed_Ff_Crm.Count();
double The_Percentage = Math.Round((double)((Unfollowed_Ff_Crm_Count / Ff_Crm_Count) * 100),2);
