if b=100 & a=(c*.65)/2 when a+b=c, what are b & c?
I need help determining which Excel formula to use for the following equation;
a+b=c when; a=(c*65%)/0.5 b=600 |

Doesn't that just require juggling the components around

Frankly, I'm a little rusty - but shouldn't it be:
= - 600 / (1.3-1) which results: c = - 2000 Micky "Bob Phillips" wrote: Doesn't that just require juggling the components around =(600*0.5)/35% -- HTH Bob "davidsons4" wrote in message ...

What I meant was:
1.3c - c = - 600 0.3c = - 600 c = - 2000 Micky "מיכאל (מיקי) אבידן" wrote: Frankly, I'm a little rusty - but shouldn't it be: = - 600 / (1.3-1) which results: c = - 2000 Micky "Bob Phillips" wrote: Doesn't that just require juggling the components around =(600*0.5)/35% -- HTH Bob "davidsons4" wrote in message ...

This should be as:
=(600*100)/(100-32.5), which come to 888.88 "davidsons4" wrote: I need help determining which Excel formula to use for the following equation; a+b=c when; a=(c*65%)/0.5 b=600 |

Well I'm not sure whether you are giving 888.88 as the answer for a or for b
or for c, and I'm not sure whether you are giving the answer to the subject line which said "if b=100 & a=(c*.65)/2 when a+b=c, what are b & c?" or to the message content which said: " a+b=c when; a=(c*65%)/0.5 b=600" but I don't think that 888.88 is the answer to any of the 6 questions. If you look at "if b=100 & a=(c*.65)/2 when a+b=c, what are b & c?", a =c*0.325, c*0.325 + 100 = c, hence c * (1 - 0.325) = 100, c = 100/(1-0.325), which is 148.148148..., and a is 48.148148... If you look at " a+b=c when; a=(c*65%)/0.5; b=600" , a=c*1.3, c*1.3 + 600 = c, c*0.3 = -600, hence c = -2000 and a =-2600. I don't see an 888.88 in there; have I got it wrong? I wonder whether you are answering a mixture of the 2 questions? -- David Biddulph "Excel_Learner" wrote in message ...

but I don't think that 888.88 is the answer to any of <possible
combinations Hi. I believe one gets 888.88 if you take b=600 from the message, and take "/2" from the subject. The Subject & body have two different equations. = = = = = Dana DeLouis On 3/31/10 5:20 PM, David Biddulph wrote: Well I'm not sure whether you are giving 888.88 as the answer for a or for b or for c, and I'm not sure whether you are giving the answer to the subject line which said "if b=100& a=(c*.65)/2 when a+b=c, what are b& c?" or to the message content which said: " a+b=c when; a=(c*65%)/0.5 b=600" but I don't think that 888.88 is the answer to any of the 6 questions.

Yes. Hence the last sentence of my message.
