Add a percentage
 

I'm new to excel and working on 2007. This I know will be an easy one for
someone out there. I have the figure 36977 and want to add 8% to it via a
forumla.

I've had a look about, but everything seems a tade more complex than what
I'm looking for.

Hope you can help, thanks.

Add a percentage
 

If the number is in A1, use the formula
=A1*1.08

=36977 * 1.08

Generally if you want to increase a number by a certain percentage
multiply that number by the sum of 1 plus the percentage. The
asterisk, * , is the symbol Excel uses for multiplication.
