    markup percentage

    what formula do i use to markup a percentage so my balance is the same after discount
    for example
    a=amount not to be discounted ie marked up
    b=amount to be discounted
    c= total of a+b before discount
    d=discount percentage
    e=balance after discounted

    Re: markup percentage

    See attached:

    row 1 = headings
    A2: original amount (10)
    B2: mark up amount (2)
    C2: Total A1 + B1
    D2: Discount % =B2/A2
    E2: Balance =A2*D2+A2

    E2 amount, after discount %, will equal sum of A2:B2

    Re: markup percentage

    the markup is a percentage to allow for percentage discounted so i think i still do not have correct answer.

    sorry if i am not explaining myself, i am finding this very difficult to solve none of my friends seem to know how to do this.

    Your initial post describes this as an amount not a percentage. Now you've changed the requirement.

    Upload an example workbook that manually shows exactly what you want to achieve and has the structure of your real workbook.
