Hi gc,


22& of what?

12.8% of what?

'what's left' from what?


Wu=ith some assumptions regarding answers to the questions:


Formulas:


B2: $A2×B$1

Fill right to cell C2


D2: A2−B2−C2


Assumptions:


All percentages are percentages of the original amount.

"What's left" is the original amount minus both percentage results.


Regards,

Barry
