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? "Anita" wrote: 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.

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. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200903 "Anita" wrote: Gary, Thanks, could you tell me what 22.74 means and how you came up with that number?
