iOS Numbers

Hi!


I would like to use a formula in Numbers that will:


Take a total amount: $120.00.

minus a deductible: $100,

then multiply by a certain percentage: 10%


For example:

$120.00 - $100.00 x 10%


so I just need to calculate the percentage on any amount over $100.00.


I will be using the same equations to calculate different amounts, so I guess I can use different amounts in the one formula.


Any help would be greatly appreciated!


Thank you,

Mary

Spreadsheets are really good at this kind of thing. You can set up a formula once, copy it down a column, and try different combinations of "inputs". For example, you could do something like this:




The formula in D2 would be typed in like this:


=(A2−B2)*C2


Then why you've got it working in D2, hover over the bottom edge of the cell and drag the yellow dot down. Or select D2, command-c to copy, select the rest of the cells in the column, and command-v to paste.


If you don't like the minus -5, etc., when the amount is less than 100 then you can get a little fancier if you want and use this:


=MAX(0,(A2−B2)*C2)
