How to subtract percentage of the amount

In life there is a mass of examples when it is necessary to subtract from the amount of a certain percentage, for example, tax deductions from wages that have a fixed percentage, discounts on goods and services, etc. These calculations can be made in several ways and using various means, for example, Computer or calculator.

1
The initial amount is taken equal to 100%, then 1% is a hundredth part of the source number, which is 0.01, respectively, 25% - 0.25, 97% - 0.97. Consider subtracting percent on a specific example on source data: Amount - 5000, interest - 15. To perform actions from a different kind of values, it is necessary to bring them to a single type. Consider two options for calculating sequence:

  • determine the share by dividing the percentage of 100%;
  • the initial amount multiply to a share to get the value of the initial percentage in the quantitative equivalent;
  • take the resulting value of the initial interest from the original amount, expressed in the quantitative equivalent.

  • highlight an empty cell in the column "Result", in line "Insert functions" sign "\u003d";
  • click on the cell with the value "5000", put the "-" sign, click on the "5000" cell, then put the multiplication sign, mark the "15" cell, enter the division sign and the number 100;
