reflection question #1 10/2

i had problems trying to work out some math in visual studio. i wanted the program to add two numbers together to get a sum and then divide one of the numbers by the sum to get the percentage. a screen kept popping up that said a variable was being used undefined but i didnt even have that variable anywhere in my code. i started over and did the program a different way.
