[Gambas-user] format number messing up equation

[Pablo Vera]

When using the % sign in the format function, it will automatically 
multiply the value by 100, so you would use it like this:

Message.Info("You answered " & countCorrect & " questions correct.\n\n"
& "You answered " & countWrong & " questions wrong." & "\n\n\n" & "Your
score for this test is " & Format$(countCorrect/counter,"##.# %") &
"\n\n" )

Saludos,
Pablo Vera
