    well i have to get percentage for a number from another number

    Example:

    You have $600
    and you gave me $90 from it
    so i take %15 from all your money

    i want to use it in several numbers in xls file

    (X / 100) * 600 = 90

    (X / 100) = 90 / 600

    X / 100 = 90 / 600

    X = 90 / 600 * 100

    So what you have is.. amount taken / total, and then *100 to make it %
