Thorsten is great, but your calculation is buggy.

  2726 / 2814 * 100 ~= 96.87%

     print("Total accepted: %s" % total['total_accepted'])
     print(
         "ta accepted:    %s (%s%%)" % (
             total['ta_accepted'],
-            ((Decimal(100) / total['ta_accepted']) * total['ta_accepted']),
+            (total['ta_accepted'] * 100 / total['total_accepted']),
         )
     )
