Sum and Percentage
Hi
I am trying to creat a formula which creates the cost price + 15% and includes the difference if selling at a loss IE.. Buy £100 (E8) Sell £95 (E9) Difference (E10) The sum I am trying to do is this £100 - £95 = £5 (difference between selling and buying) £95 x 15% = £109.25 (Total including 15% of what we sold for) £109.25 - £95 = £14.25 + £5.00 = £19.25 (15% of selling profit including the £5.00 loss on list price) Any suggestions gratefully received :-) |

$95 * 15% does not = $109.25.
$95 * 115% DOES equal 109.25. So there's your first problem. (I don't know how to enter british pound signs on my keyboard, sorry, but the math is the same whether for dollars or pounds....)

I'm not sure I fully understand but try this:-
=(E9*0.15)+(E8-E9) Mike " wrote: Hi I am trying to creat a formula which creates the cost price + 15% and includes the difference if selling at a loss IE..

When you calculate $109.25 by adding 15% to $95, then subtract the original $95,
that's the same as taking 15% of $95. So your required formula simplifies to: =e9*0.15+e10 Where e10 is e8-e9 -- Regards, Fred wrote in message oups.com...
