Indeed, simple case of %% calculation for this particular case can be
defined by this formula.
Formula approach contra's for layouts like this:
1) You should provide such formula for each block having %%:
|<--25%%-->|<--fixed:100px-->|<--50%%--->|<--25%%-->|
In each formula you will use the same 100px value. And if you will want to
change it in future then you need to update it in many places. This is not
so good I guess.
2) Width (100px) could be not known at design time. E.g. second block will
have width:intrinsic.
3) If some %% block will have min-width set to some value such formula will
become useless. Otherwise we need to intoduce conditional operations in
formulas.
