Hi mean twenty persent (20%)

At least the OP can post a percent sign! As I type this I keep wondering if this will work (no it didn't. I had to spell it out).

You cannot write like double b =20% in Java. If it the problem says 20%, try to get the percentage of the number by applying simple algebraic calculation.
