How do I perform math against two searches?

I have two searches that use the same index and each return a numerical total, differing only in the period of time of the data they look at. How would I perform math on the search results for example adding or calculating percentages?

| eval FullTotal=Total1+Total2 | eval percentage=((Total1/FullTotal)*100)
