Hi I keep on getting 0 ... seems like it does not like to divide ...
anyone know how to calculate a percent from to #'s

VALUEONE=20
VALUETWO=80

PERCENT=`expr $VALUEONE / $VALUETWO \* 100 `

echo $PERCENT

----
I receive 0 ,,,  it should be .25..
20/80 * 100  =0.25 ; seems like to 20/80 is returning 0.
thanks
