Hi

Mark the range of cells to which you wish to apply data validation.
Data>Validation>from drop down choose Custom.
In the white pane type =B10<=B9*1.5
Choose Format and set Text colour or Cell Colour that you require.

I think you'll find some excellent answers here:

A big part of what will likely help you with your homework is a Google
search. In this case I used this exact search, including the quote marks:
"data validation" using a formula
and I quickly found Dave's reference.

Hi

The symbol is the "less than" operator. It is achieved by holding down the
shift button and pressing the key for a comma ,
