Broken Rental Ratio & Percent Calculator

Receiving broken movies from Netflix and Blockbuster Online has become a fact of life.  Maybe if they shipped rentals in padded envelopes like GreenCine this wouldn't be a problem.  I made this calculator for myself as a time saver and figured someone else might find this useful.

Instructions

The instructions are simple.  Enter the total number of rentals you have received in the first box.  Then enter the number of broken rentals you received in the second box and click the "Solve" button. 

Here's a table I made showing the number of broken rentals I've received to compare Netflix, Blockbuster, and GreenCine.
