Default Is Cell D3 within 10% of B3 True or false?

I have two Columns of Data,
I want to know if the Data in column D is within 10% + or - of the data in
column B
e.g Is Cell D3 within 10% of B3 True or false?
Should be simple but I can't figure it out.

=IF((AND(D3=B3*90%,D3<=B3*110%)),TRUE,FALSE)

What added value do you think you get with =IF(...TRUE,FALSE) ?
What difference do you get with
=IF((AND(D3=B3*90%,D3<=B3*110%)),TRUE,FALSE) compared with
=AND(D3=B3*90%,D3<=B3*110%) ?
What values does the AND function return?

Quicklearners formula combining if with and could have an added value of
allowing the user to adapt the output, I know he requested "true or false"
but "buy or sell" or "cabbages and cauliflowers" could be more practical
outputs for the user! So dont be too hasty to criticise

oops missed that one.
Real eye opener ..

I just started learning excel so I really did not get that first time..

what I did was using my limited imagination only backed by
IF,AND,OR,SUM,AVERAGE you get the idea :)

Usind AND function

=IF((AND((((B3-D3)/B3)*100)<=10,((((B3-D3)/B3)*100)=-10))),TRUE,FALSE)

=AND(((B3-D3)/B3)*100<=10,((B3-D3)/B3)*100=-10) [having deleted a few of
the unnecessary parentheses] or with
=AND((B3-D3)/B3<=10%,(B3-D3)/B3=-10%) [getting rid of the unnecessary
multiplication by 100] ?
What values does the AND function return? Doesn't it return the Boolean
TRUE and FALSE ?

The question does say "within 10%" not within or equal to!
