Percentage calculation

Question

I am trying to get sql to read my percentage calculation but I cant figure it out.

The calcuation is(A.[POLICY TOTAL] - [A.LATE])/A.[POLICY TOTAL] * 100 This will give me the percentage I need butat the moment I am calculating the below which gives me the opposite percentage. so I have one that gives me 20% but I need the other to show me the 80% Can anyone advise if there is such a calculation? Many thanks in advance if so.

CONVERT(VARCHAR,CONVERT(DECIMAL(5,1),100.0 * 
a.[Late] / a.[POLICY TOTAL])) + '%'  [Failedd]

You already have shown it how to do it. All you have to do is put the parentheses correctly

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR,CONVERT(DECIMAL(5,1),
((A.[POLICY TOTAL] - [A.LATE])* 100.0)/A.[POLICY TOTAL] )) + '%'  [Failedd]

Thank you for the help Robbin but its not bringing back the percentages I need ie policysin has 12 and Failed has 4 so it would give 33.3% with my calculation where as I am trying to bring back the percentage of 66.66 and so on. Sorry for not being clear.

My solution seems to be doing exactly that

DECLARE @policy INT, @fail INT

SELECT @fail = 4, @policy = 12

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR,CONVERT(DECIMAL(5,1),
((@policy - @fail)* 100.0)/@policy )) + '%'  [Failedd]
