Round or Truncate a calculated numerical variable

I'm turning CPQuizInfoPointsScored into a percentage and displaying this to the learner. Sometimes this comes out as a whole number and sometimes it shows as something like 97.597613269726%, which isn't really desirable. When I display the variable in a text box, I'm using the 'X' and setting 'maximum length' to 3, but this doesn't seem to have any effect.

Any ideas how I can round our truncate the calculated variable?

    Is there any particular reason why you do not want to use the quizzing system variable cpInfoPercentage?

    The workaround would need a JS function, either Math.floor() or Math.round()

    Um... that would be because I didn't know that variable existed - I was looking for something starting "cpQuizInfo..."

    Many thanks.

    I know, it is confusing that some quizzing system variables do not have the Quiz in their name, same with the variables for review mode and scope. Maybe you should download the table I offer for free in this blog post:
