Hi Pamela,

Try this formula.

=(G1+(G4-G3)/2)+(G2+(G4-G3)/2)

Where G1 = 158
G2 = 348
G3 = =G1+G2
G4 = 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
