The difference between $28.85 and $29.42 is $0.57. For percentages, see my answer to your other question.

For the $1.03 raise, that depends on what your wages were before the raise. If you were receiving $1.03 then a $1.03 raise is a 100% raise. If you were receiving $10.30 then a $1.03 raise is a 10% raise. If you were receiving $103.00 then a $1.03 raise is a 1% raise.

The concept of "percentage difference" depends upon what you use as your comparator, or the "base" amount.

Suppose the 8.50 value is entered in cell B3 and 4.80 is entered in cell C3.

To compute what percentage you'd save (off the higher price) if you buy from the cheaper supplier, you could enter into cell D3 a formula like: =(B3-C3)/B3
This would result in a numeric value of 0.435294, meaning you'd save about 43.53% off the higher price. In this case, your "base" amount is $8.50.

Alternatively, if you used the lower price as the "base", then you could use a formula like: =B3/C3
This would result in a numeric value of 1.770833, meaning the higher price is 177.08% of the lower price, so it costs about 77% more.

HTH!

There's no set percentage to what the difference is between brake and wheel horsepower. It all depends on the specific car and components and engine. Some cars have a huge percentage of horsepower lost while some have minimal loss.

working with repeated formula'sthe computer will do the work for you

Since I don't use the percent sign. Here is instead a MUCH easier way. Divide the price you bought it for (289) by the original price (648). This gives you the percentage that 289 is with respect to 648 if you just read off the first two decimal places. When you divide one number by another it will tell you how many times they 'fit' for the purpose of explaining it. That is also essentially what a percentage is out of 100 parts. so when you divide one number by another, you will get a decimal answer, just multiply it by 100 (or just take the first two decimals) and that is percent saved (percent different). Note that if the first value is LARGER than the second, you will have a percentage of over 100%.

Most saws and other 2 cycle engines use 40:1 ratio gas:oil.

I would not expect yours to be different, unless it is an older saw made before 1980.

Hi nastyguy3000;

To calculate a percentage in excel you simply take
amount/total = percentage in your cell

Example A B Purchase price Sales tax (in decimal form) 800 0.089 Formula Description (Result) =A2*B2 Multiplies 800 by 0.089 to find the amount of sales tax to pay ($71.20)

Have Fun

they call it hardware malfunction. try removing all batteries in it and wait for 30 seconds before reinserting the batteries. If the same problem still exist, the unit is permanently damaged.
