So I have a total, say 24, I need my code to find the nearest hightest multiple of 10. This would be 30 of course, so I need the code to calculate (30-24). If the number is 20 it would be 20 beucase it is equal to a highest muliple of 10. I then need to store the result for later use.

@MisterChief: You don't actually need to know exactly *what* the next highest value is, you just need to know how far along towards it you are. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams May 14 '16 at 20:18
