| Division
and Percent Now move to cell A21
and type in the word Percent. We're going to calculate a fun
percentage to show you how division works and give you some more
practice with numbers.
Now move to cell C21 and using either the
Type-In Method or the Point Method divide
( / ) the amount for
Income in cell C9 by the amount for Expenses in cell
C17.
This will give you a horrid number so why not put
a percent symbol with it. Now we’ll repeat what we did
above to format our $$$$.
Point to cell C21 and click the
right mouse button. Point
to Format Cells, -then the Number tab –then click-on
Percent. Select zero ( O ) Decimal Places. Click OK. Ta
Da !!! a %.
[The formula should look
like =C9/C17]
