Substitute variables to simplify:

( a / b + c ) * 100    for input (before &)
( d / e + f ) * 100    for output (after &)

a&d * 100 / b&e + c&f  which is
a * 100 / b + c        for input
d * 100 / e + f        for output

This is not the same

I think you can. Use plenty of whitespace.

If you can't, rewrite the expression:

(a / b + c ) * 100 = 100 * a / 100 * b + 100 * c

However, you probably want a / (b + c) * 100 to get a percentage
of errors in relation to unicasts+broadcasts.
