I have been working as an Elementary computer teacher. I was recently
promoted to teaching MS/HS... I have been busy this summer creating lesson
plans and I have more to learn about Excel & formulas. I want to teach the
students how to use a particular chart. I have the top 10 countries that
import from the U.S. I have the $ amounts for each country. Canada imported
211.9 billion in 2005, which is up 31.7% from 2002. What is the formula to
figure out the amount in 2002? I know that on the news I will hear that a
certain stock is up _______ % from yesterday. I could forego this, but
believe that this is very important to teach. Algebra was NOT my strong
suit. My husband came up with a formula, but neither of us know how to write
it into Excel. I need to understand it, so that I can teach it. Your help
is greatly appreciated!
