Calculating Percentage in a form
Hi there and thanks in advance for any assistance.
I am writing a form and doing a bunch of calculations one of which is a percentage based on the value selected. I am returning a correct result for two of the values but for the other two I am not.
Clearly I am missing something and maybe not testing for it but as I am clueless I can't think of what.
The 'discount' value is what I am looking for. It should return as 0 for values of 1 but it is doing the math as though it is multiplying by 1. And again for the value of 6 it should be 10% but is taking the value as 4.6 or something.
Code is below I've included all of it (sorry) for better ease of understanding the math that is happening:
HTML Code:
<form id="form1" action="" method="get">
<fieldset>
<p>
<label for="Type">Type of Storage:</label>
<select id="Type" name="type">
<option name="Heated Storage" value="60">Heated - $60/month</option>
<option name="Unheated Storage" value="50">Unheated - $50/month</option>
<option name="Offsite Storage" value="40">Offsite - $40/month</option>
</select>
</p>
<p>
<label for="Length">How long you need storage:</label>
<select id="Length" name="length">
<option name="Don't know" value="1">Unsure (month to month)</option>
<option name="One month" value="1">One month </option>
<option name="3 months" value="3">3 months (5% pre-payment discount)</option>
<option name="6 months" value="6">6 months (10% pre-payment discount)</option>
<option name="one year" value="12">One year (15% pre-payment discount)</option>
</select>
</p>

<label for="Gobox">Number of Goboxes:</label>
<select id="Gobox" name="gobox">
