Calculation result wrong using CountRows ?

I am new to Dax so hopefully someone can point out what I am doing wrong.

 

I have a formula to count rows based on a slicer selection. This is setup as a measure.

SelectedCount = COUNTROWS(ALLSELECTED(MeetingRoomStats_20190523[RoomName]))
This returns a whole number and it works correctly
 
I would like to use this Measure in a another measure
PercUTIL = DIVIDE(DIVIDE(MeetingRoomStats_20190523[Duration],MeetingRoomStats_20190523[wrkingHours]),[SelectedCount])

The returned value is incorrect when using the "selectedCount" measure.

When using the measure and one count is returned the result is 0.05 but when I enter the value of 1 the correct value is retuned 0.27.

PercUTIL = DIVIDE(DIVIDE(MeetingRoomStats_20190523[Duration],MeetingRoomStats_20190523[wrkingHours]),1)
I cannot seem to figure out of it is a format issue or my lack of knowledge either way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try this way.

 

PercUTIL =
VAR DurationWorking =
DIVIDE (
MeetingRoomStats_20190523[Duration],
MeetingRoomStats_20190523[wrkingHours]
)
RETURN
DIVIDE ( DurationWorking, [SelectedCount] )

This works but returns the same incorrect result. Although I like your formating much better then mine

Can you please attach sample file?
