Saying:

using =C2+100*0.38 . That didn't work.

is not very helpful. What didn't work?

I assume that you mean add $100 and then times the total of the original
price Plus the $100 by38%. If so try:

=(C2+100)*.38

Can anyone help a newbie?

I have a problem creating a formula for sales mark up. I have the base
cost
in colum c and need to add $100.00 for installation and times 38%? I
tried
using =C2+100*0.38 . That didn't work.

Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thank you in advance.
