My idea is so easy it can't be right but here goes.
Couldn't you read the total and page count into an array, the divide array
values 1-3 by array value 0 and multiply that by 100? In other words:
$row[0] = 1000;
$row[1] = 500;
$row[2] = 250;
$row[3] = 250;
array[1]/array[0] = 0.5 * 100 = 50
array[2]/array[0] = 0.25 * 100 = 25
array[3]/array[0] = .25 * 100 = 25
Like I said it's too simple but I haven't tested it so I'm probably missing
something.

I have a database of numbers:
TOTAL HITS: 1000
PAGE 1: 500
PAGE 2: 250
PAGE 3: 250
How can I query these numbers and display back a percentage number? For
instance with the numbers above:
PAGE 1: 50%
PAGE 2: 25%
PAGE 3: 25%
Or is their a process by which to store numbers for easily getting this to
work?
