In this example, the goal is to determine the percentage discount for each item shown in the table, given an original price and a sale price. In other words, given the Charcoal grill has an original price of $70.00 and a Sale Price of $59.50, we want to calculate a percentage discount ...Read more
In this example, the goal is to determine the original price from a discounted price (sale price) and the percentage discount. For example, given a sale price of $60.00, and a discount of 10%, we want a result of $70.00 for the original price. The discounted price is in column C and the...Read more
In this example, the goal is to decrease the prices shown in column C by the percentages shown in column D. For example, given an original price of $70.00, and an decrease of 10% ($7.00), the result should be $63.00. The general formula for this calculation, where "x" is the new price, is:...Read more
In this example, the goal is to increase the prices shown in column C by the percentages shown in column D. For example, given the original price of $70.00, and an increase of 10%, the result should be $77.00. The general formula for this calculation, where "x" is the new price, is:

Following order of operations, Excel first calculates the difference between the values (the actual change in sales) then divides that result by the original, or "old" value to get the decimal value -0.3435:
=(D6-C6)/C6
=(49500-75400)/75400
=-25900/75400
=0...Read moreIn this example, the goal is to convert the percentages shown in column C to amounts, where the total of all amounts is given as $1945. In other words, if we know Rent is 36.0%, and the total of all expenses is $1945, we want to calculate that Rent is $700. With "x" as the number...Read more
In this example, the goal is to work out the total of all expenses using a known percent of total of any one expense. If we know groceries are $200 and we know groceries represent 10.3% of total expenses, we want to calculate the total of all expenses ($1945). In other words, $...Read more
In this example, the goal is to work out the "percent of total" for each expense shown in the worksheet. In other words, given that we know the total is $1945, and we know Rent is $700, we want to determine that Rent is 36% of the total.
The total already exists in the...Read more
