    working across columns finding and then subtracting percentages

    Can anyone help me with this please?

    i have a column of numbers representing gross wages paid. (column A)

    in the next column (B) i'd like to show 20% of the figure in A

    In the next column (C) i'd like to show A-B

    Does any one know how i make a formula that will accomplish this?

    MANY THANKS

    Formula in B2:

    =A2*0.2

    Formula in C2:

    =A2-C2
