How to divide row and convert to dollar amount in razor page?

How do I divide a column that I convert to an int and get the dollar amount?
For example, if thisAmount=19, then the output should be .19. With the current code below, it outputs 0.00

@((((int)row["thisAmount"])/100).ToString("c"))

When you divide int1 per int2, like int1/int2. you should cast int2 to double, and the result will be casted too. so it's become like int1/(double)int2.
Change your code to :

@((((int)row["thisAmount"])/(double)100).ToString("c"))

Or use decimal.Divide function :

@(decimal.Divide((int)row["thisAmount"], 100).ToString("c"))

I hope you find this helpful.
