    Question Add percentage multiple times

    Does anyone know what formula to put in the total cell to get the correct answer?
    I need to make the price of $100.00 into $179.40 by adding 15%, then 20%, then 30%.

    BURDEN OVERHEAD PROFIT TOTAL:
    MATERIAL C&M: $100.00 15% 20% 30% ?????

    Re: Add percentage multiple times

    The result is not correct.

    A1=€ 100
    B1=115%
    C1=120%
    D1=130%

    E1 ==A1*B1*C1*D1

    Result € 179,40
    Notice my main language is not English.

    Since I am not able to edit the earlier threath, the formula in E1 should (of course) be

    E1 =A1*B1*C1*D1

    Re: Add percentage multiple times

    If you mean you want to start with 100, add 15%, then add 20% to the resulting answer, then add 30% to the resulting answer, then you want:

    =100*1.15*1.2*1.3

    (replace values with cell references where appropriate)

    Your example of 156 is what you get if you do 100*1.2*1.3, you seem to have missed out the 15%.

    I corrected my math (I originally had the 15% as 0%).
    I tried E1 =A1*B1*C1*D1 and I got an answer of $0.90

    Re: Add percentage multiple times

    You need to add 1 to the percentages, try:

    E1=A1*(1+B1)*(1+C1)*(1+D1)
