    now how is this an excel question? its a maths question involving %, why ops don't show how its done on paper then ask how do you implement this in excel is beyond me, not only do they want excel help but maths as well.

    Re: questions that aren't really excel questions

    Surely, all that is showing is the paucity of the education that the individual has received. They do not know how to use arithmetic to solve the problem stated, but they have heard of/used spreadsheets and been told how these are used to solve arithmetic problems, so they think it is an Excel issue.
