Hi Chris,

Integer division: divide two integers, the result is integer too.

SELECT 1/3
SELECT 1.0/3
SELECT 1/3.0
SELECT 1.0/3.0

The above show that forcing at least one operand to non-integer suffices
to get a result with fraction. In your case, one possible way would be

SET @GOS = CAST(@offered AS decimal(10,2)) / @answeredin120 * 100

Or even

SET @GOS = 100.0 * @offerec / @answeredin120
