//For other people

If you need calculate using negative numbers:

double minValue = -100;
double value = 30;
double maxValue = 100;
double perc = (value - minValue) / (maxValue - minValue);
Console.WriteLine((perc * 100) + "%");

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

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);

Mathematically, to get percentage from two numbers:

percentage = (yourNumber / totalNumber) * 100;

And also, to calculate from a percentage :

number = (percentage / 100) * totalNumber;

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}";

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%

Using Math.Round():

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

or manually rounding:

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

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