Default calculations in MS excel

I think my first post failed; so i'm re-posting...sorry for cross posings...

Im working on a spreadsheet where I want Column E to be 1/5th of the dollar
value in Column D. So far Ive had to enter =MOD(Dx,5) for each D cell (ie
x) value. This works for some of the values, yet others auto-calculate
wrong. I.e. when I typed in $15.31 in cell D17, it showed $0.31 in E17; and
$25.00 auto-calculated as $-. Yet it seems to work correctly for 12.41 and
12.50 values. The cells have been formatted to currency. Can anybody tell
me what Im doing wrong and how to correct this problem? Is there a way to
format the entire column to reflect 1/5 of the previous columns value so I
dont have to retype the formula in every column E cell?

A BIG thanks to anyone who can help!
