I am working on an excel project in which I have a rent price say $5000.
With
this rent I am trying to find a formula in which I can find the maximum
one
needs to pay on this rent. The maximum is either a percentage of that rent
or
a dollar amount. For example say the percentage is 10% of this rent or
the
fixed amount is $400. I am trying to get the formula to decide which is
greater, and then have this information placed in another cell as the
maximum
payment due on the rent of the two possibilities (either 10% of $5000 or
$400).

=MAX(10%*5000,400)

You can, of course, replace any or all of the numbers by cell references.
