figuring a number based on a percentage incre Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,

if i have a number and want a formula to know that it is a percentage of another number, what is the formula in EXCEL?

i.e. if i have a set number, say 14,250 and want to know what that number is as 75% of a 'total' number, how do i write the formula?  i.e. i know by doing long hand that 14,250 is 75% of 19,000, but how do i write formula that gives me that number of 19,000 (if i have the set number of 14250 and the 75%)?

thanks

This is not a problem in Excel but in arithmetics.

IF 14250 IS ENTERED IN A1

in any empty cell type this formula e.g. B1

=A1*100/7.5
you will get 190000 and not 19000 please check .

if you put another formula in B2
=A1*100/7.5
 your will get 14250 as check. 

by the by is it 7.5% or 75%
