Calculating percentages

Hi all

I have two figures - 315 and 88. How do I calculate what percentage of 315
the 88 is???

Thank you

Louise

Try this:
A1: 88
A2: 315
A3: +A1/A2
Now format cell A3 for percents:
Format>Cell>Number
Category: Percentage

Does that help?

One way:
=(88/315)*100

Thanks very much - I was doing it the other way round - 315/88*100
