How to to use CSS functions to calculate a div width in percentage using this formula : (screen-width - 300px) x 100 / screen-width



EDIT 1 :



I explain more the problem :



My navigation side as showed in the below image have always 300px as widh and the content side must have the rest of screen-width so it would be : navigation-side + content-side = 100%



enter image description here

The solution I found is to use calc() function this way :



.content-side 
width: calc(100% - 300px);



Actually I didn't know that we can use the value 100% to express the screen-width and substract a value expressed in px
