Using variable intrepretation in strings and math

Question

Here is my pen:codepen.io/JFrankParnell/pen/bNGQrQ I'm trying to work with variables, only

 #{$containwidth}px;

is working. Using #{$containwidth}%; trying to use percentages or math either will give compile errors or isnt working.

I have given the #control styles to show what I expected each of the test scss to produce.

Answer 1

you can use percentage.

width: percentage($othervar / $containwidth);
