Help!

I have a simple question and no documentation so I turn to the Net.

I want to divide the numbers in two fields:

   on mouseUp
      add bg field "foo" to bg field "fa"
      divide bg field "fa" into bg field "fum"
   end mouseUp

What's the right syntax for the divide?  Is multiply the same?
I'm trying to determine the percentage of one field to another.
And, these fields are on the same background and used by
all cards in the stack.

I know this is easy--but not when there's no one to ask.
Thanks for your answers.

Greg
