Decimal Truncated

I'm a newbie to Transact-SQL so I apologize if this is a stupid question. Whenever I try to divide two variables of type int, I get a result where the decimal part is truncated. Here is an example:


ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[DIVIDE_TEST]

AS

BEGIN

-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from

-- interfering with SELECT statements.

SET NOCOUNT ON;


DECLARE

@VAR1 int,

@VAR2 int,

@MYRESULT dec(10,5)


SELECT @VAR1 = 10

SELECT @VAR2 = 3

SELECT @MYRESULT = (@VAR1/@VAR2)


SELECT @MYRESULT

-- @MYRESULT has decimal part truncated, Returned value = 3.00000


END

Any ideas?
