Enter .384 in a cell, say A1

Enter the numbers from your receipts in a column, say B

In C1 enter =B1*$A$1

Drag/copy down as far as you need.

Note the $ signs to keep A1 Absolute so's it does not change.

This should be really easy, but I am very elementary with formulas. I can
add and subtract two numbers basically.

Okay, I made a spreadsheet to figure taxes. I need to figure the sales tax
on my gasoline receipts. So I need to multiply .384 by different numbers
(from each receipt) ..... and yes, I'm running late with taxes! :-)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks so much.
