The problem here is that you are working with ints. You need to get a double percentage and then round it up. In other words: if you divide two ints, you get the lower nearest integer. Imagine you divide 10/3, you get 3. So, in order to get an exact division, you need to work with doubles. You can do that by making one of the operands a double. In the example above: double result = 10/3.0 (see how I've included a decimal in the denominator). In this case, result is 3.33... Now, you would need to round that up to the higher nearest integer, which you can do using Math.ceil(result). Try it out!
