PHP - Moved: Php Simple Math...

Trying to get the percentage of rent for a property in php. Im completely lost ....

Code: [Select]
<?php

$purchase = 44000;
$rent = 9860;

$percent = $purchase * $rent; //this is wrong, it returns 4.3 but should be over 18

echo "Percentage is {$percent}%";

?>

What is the correct way to right a simple maths question

i have my total as:
<?php echo $row['total'];?>

i have my another number as:
<?php echo $row['user_credit']; ?>

but what i want to do is subtract the user_credit from the total and save it as a new variable called 'credits_used' but im unsure how to write it

do i do it like
$row['total'] - $row['user_credit'] = $row['credit_used'];

Thank for any help
