Default How Do I create a formula for the percentage below?

I am trying to type a formula to get a percentage for cells B19 and B20 with
the following numbers type in these two cells - B19 - 70 and B20 - 34.5. I
actually have the answer (16.8%) but need to know the formula that would come
up with this number. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Gary, Thanks, could you tell me what 22.74 means and how you came up with
that number?

It is the discount factor. It is the amount 35.4 must be discounted to
arrive at the correct percentage.

I calculated it using Goal Seek.
