    Total - 15% Equals...?

    Good morning,

    Sorry for the noob question.

    How would a formula look like if I had to take the total of 160 and subtract 15% from it then divide it by 500.


    Thank you!

    Like this:

    =(160-160*0.15)/500

    Assuming Ali's suggestion from post #2 is what you were looking for, the numerator can also be shortened to this:

    160-160*0.15 = 160(1-0.15) = 160(0.85)

    Putting it into an Excel formula with the denominator, that would give you this:

    =(160*0.85)/500
