    Negative Percent? Math help

    Arithmetic Challenged

    1) -8055.00 / -23445.00 = 34.36%

    2) 60267.55 / 173953.28 = 34.65%

    Should #1 above actually be a negative percent?

    Two negatives make a positive.
    One negative makes a negative
    8055.00 / -23445.00, result would be negative
