Richard,

A1 doesn't have any weight, it's a cell in a spreadsheet that holds data.
Likewise, B1 is a cell and I hope it only contains data, not water. So,
assuming that the value entered in A1 is 1.5 pounds and B1 contains the
value 10% or 0.1, you're wanting to find out something like the weight of
the solution that is attributable to water. Unfortunately, you haven't
really told us what the result in C1 is supposed to represent which makes it
impossible to give you a legitimate answer.

Sorry, My first post didn't take. If A1 has a weight lets say 1 1/2 lbs.
and B1 is 10% water. Whats the results in C1? Thanks in advance!
