percentages, how do i do it?

Hi Lisa,

You have posted in the Numbers for Mac forum, but your question seems to be about Pages. No problem, the formula is the same in both a Numbers table and a Pages table.

Formula in B2 =A2×0.25

Type that as =A2*0.25

Type an Asterisk * for the multiplication operator. Numbers changes it to × (don't type a lower case x)

This is the new way in Numbers (and Pages) to show formulas as if we are using a calculator.

or perhaps this is more familiar to you:

Formula in B3 =A3×25÷100

Type that as =A3*25/100

Type a Slash / for the division operator. Numbers changes it to ÷

I find it easiest to "point and click" on a cell to insert the cell reference.

Please call back with questions.

Regards,

Ian.

Late edit: (I missed the edit time limit). My reply applies to Numbers 4 and Pages 6 running under macOS Sierra. Your profile shows iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), iOS 6.1.2

Is that correct?

Ian.
