# It is always the same formula, dived part by whole "=<part>/<whole>"
# Or you don't do it at all. If you simply want to display a fraction as percentage, format the cell as percent - See http://plan-b-for-openoffice.org/calc/topic/format-cell-percent-using-toolbar for a short video demonstrating how to format a cell with a percentage value.

How do you create a formula for percentage in Excel spreadsheet for 20 people participating and 3 nonparticipating?
Divide the total value into the amount you want to get a percentage for. So if you want to find out what percent 3 is out of 20, then you divide 3 by 20 and format it as a percentage. If you want to find what percentage both 3 and 20 are of 23, you will be dividing each number by 23. In terms of Excel, you would use cell references rather than direct values where possible. So if the 3 was in cell B2 and the 20 in B3, then to divide the 3 by 20, your formula would be: =B2/B3 The other percentages could be done the same way, using the appropriate cells. You could have the 23 in cell B4 by doing the calculation: =B2+B3

How do I Create a formula to determine the percentage of income used for each expense. Be sure to format it as a percentage. Place that formula in the row next to the total of each monthly expense?
To find the percentage of each expense, you would divide the total expenses by the total of each expense category. Right-click on the cell where you want to display the percentage and format the cell to display the value as a percent. You also can select the number of decimal places to display. If your total expenses are displayed in cell N12 and your office expenses are in cell N3, put the following formula in O3: =N3/N12. This will divide the office expenses by the total expenses and give you a decimal. If Total Expenses are $100 and Office Expenses are $20, cell O3 will display .2. When you format the cell to display as a percent, you will see .2 change to 20% (if you format to display 0 decimal places). If you want to display as 20.00%, then format to display 2 decimal places.
