Build yourself a small table:
A B C
1 157.00 348.00 505.00
2 102.00 102.00 204.00
3 259.00 450.00 709.00

A1 = 157 B1 = 348 C1 = A1+B1
A2 = C2/2 B2 = C2/2 C2 = C3-C1
A3 = A1+A2 B3 = B1+B2 C3 = 709

Hello everyone,

I am new on this board and in desperate need for help!
I'll try to make myself as clear as possible, although I am sure you've
all come across genuinely complicated problems.

I have two numbers, let's say 157 and 348 that equal 505. I would like
to raise 505 so that it equals 709. What formula coud I use to raise
157 and 348 in the exact same proportion so that they equal 709?


I really look forward to hear from any of you soon

Bless y'll

Pamela
