Needing formula for percentage of an amount

[Christine Owens]

What is the formula to enter into a cell that would give me a percentage (in
dollars) of a certain amount?

EXAMPLE:

$1525. Rent

I need to know what 2.9% of the $1525. would be.

It is a few I have to tack on top of the rent

Thanks!



For some reason my "Find" button won't find any posts regarding anything at
all...

Sorry to have to ask about something so simple, but I just can't remember
off the top of my head, and I need it right away.

Cell with rent is A1, to get 2.9% of A1

=A1*2.9%

or

A1*0.029

to get the total when adding 2.9%

=A1*102.9%

or

=A1*1.029
