Re: Decimals in division

PORCIVA is 5, 2, and its value is 10
IMP$ hada value of 52.24 and I expected NETO$ to result 47.49, but I got
47.00 instead.

I tryed to calculate a discount using:

neto$ = imp$ / ( 1 + porciva /100);

where neto$ and imp$ are defined as 13, 2
I expected two decimals, but instead I got an integer value in neto$.

I found a "solution" using:

neto$ = %dec(imp$ / ( 1 + porciva /100): 13: 2);

Works fine, but looks more complicated than necesary.
Why the original eval did give me an integer?

TIA
