How to calculate the percentage using the excel

Right Click on cell with mouse and select format cells
then select number . If formula was for example percentage of cell a2 calculated from b2 calculated in c2 then in c2 you put =a2/b2
Then you can use percentage in the number format
or you can go =(a2/b2)*100
Also make the cell width more if a problem.

To get around this, you can calculate your numbers as percentages first. For example, if you type the formula =10/100 in cell A2, Excel will display the result as 0.1. If you then format that decimal as a percentage, the number will be displayed as 10%, as you 'd expect.Aug 2, 2011

Excel formula: Get percentage of total ' Exceljet

https://exceljet.net/formula/get-percentage-of-total
Excel simply divides the values in column C by the total in C11. For the formula shown, the result is the decimal number .63. Because the Percentage number format is applied to cell E6, Excel displays .63 as 63%.

That is an unsolveable question. You have to have a Non Zero Starting point in order to calculate a percentage of increase. Black is essentially 0. and no % increase of 0 will bring you anything but 0

If you have a number in Cell A2 (say 100), and you put the amount of percentage increase or decrease in Cell A3 (say -10%), then put this formula into Cell A4 to calculate the answer:
=A2*(1+A3) , which then shows as the answer (90).

Hi. Try this steps on using your math calculator for the percentage function.

Hope This Helps

Step 1. Note that not all calculators behave the same way as far as the percentage key is concerned. Thus, test the examples in this article on your calculator. If your calculator does not have the percent key or does not behave in the way described here, don't despair - you can still use it to calculate percentages, it's just that you will have to press a few more buttons.
Step 2. Let's calculate a tip on your restaurant bill. Suppose your bill happens to be $64.35 and you would like to leave 15% tip.
Type the following into your calculator: 64.35 * 15 %
Answer: 9.6525 or $9.65 after rounding.
Most simple calculators will give an answer right here without having to press the = sign. If yours does not, press = and see if you get the right answer.
Alternatively, you can calculate this percentage by typing in
64.35 * 15 / 100 or 64.35 * 0.15
Thus, you may have observed that all that the percent key did here was division by a hundred.
Step 3. Let's calculate a grade percentage - say you got 34 out of a maximum of 40 points.
To figure out your grade percentage type in: 34 / 40 %
Answer: 85
Alternatively, without the percent key: 34 / 40 * 100
Step 4. Let's calculate a sale price on those shoes that originally cost $139, but are now discounted by 35%.
On your calculator type in: 139 - 35 % =
Answer: 90.35 or $90.35
This calculation is amazingly easy with the percent key! Alternatively, you would first have to calculate what the 35% of the $139 is and then subtract it from 139:
139 * 35 / 100 = 48.65
139 - 48.65 = 90.35

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

Mark

Don't forget to leave a rating.

The formula is 200/700 equals the percentage;if you're in columns a, b, and c, the formula in c1 will look like:
=b1/a1.

Then you can format the cell to show the number (.2857) as a percentage (28.57%).

Hi,

Since you are asking for the formula, it depends where your values are (cell). Please refer to the example below.



Good luck and kind regards.
