deducting a percent based off a integer

[dspain]

i have been writing an rpg the last few years and when a player dies they have always lost a constant percentage of health like so:

if(player[usrnum].exp)
{
player[usrnum].exp-=(player[usrnum].exp * .10);
}

i want to change it to make it configurable where it takes a specific
percentage based off what was read from the configuration on startup.

int percent = 10;

player[usrnum].exp -= percent; /* is what im going for */

any help would be greatly appreciated.

[hanst99]

player[usrnum].exp-=(player[usrnum].exp *(percent/100.0f));

Like that?
