Default Calculating Percentage

Need help!

I have a value in B2 which represents the # of people who started a rewards
program here at work. B3 is the number of people who are still remaining. I
want to find out the percentage of people who have dropped out. Meaning if 43
(cell B2) started and there are 33 remaining (Cell B3), what percentage of
people have dropped?

Can someone help w/ a formula? Thanks so much!

Ms Shopalot

What about

=1-(B3/B2)

Formatted as a percentage = 23.26% drop-out in your example
