I am trying to automate calculating a value.  Using this example;

I have the (13.13%) percentage and the another value (25,000). 

The math formula should be .1313 x 25,000 = 3,285.5 (what I am tryin to get). 

The issue is that I am getting the percentage like this; 

13.13 

I cant figure out how to move the decimal two spots to the left so I get

.1313

Can anyone help me out? I can use Formatter or Google Sheets.
Thanks in advance!

Hi @ZapStar 

Divide the Percent value by 100.
