We need to be able to convert Percentages to Decimals to obtain “Multiplying Factors” for mathematics questions. For example, if there is a Discount of 25% on an item, then we can multiply the item’s price by 0.25 to work out the dollar amount of Discount. How did we know that 25...
Top of Page Example 3: Calculate the percentage based on two amounts Scenario For example, if a student scored 42 points correctly out of 50 on a test, what is the percentage of correct answers? In this scenario, if the number in B2 is points answered correctly and the number in C2...
Suppose you have two sets of values (matrices) and you want to subtract the corresponding elements of the sets like shown in the screenshot below: Here's how you can do this with a single formula: Select a range of empty cells that has the same number of rows and columns as your matr...
In Excel, the underlying value is always stored in decimal form. So, even if you’ve used number formatting to display something as a percentage (10%), that’s just what it is—formatting or a symbolic representation of the underlying value. Excel always performs calculations on that underlyi...
