alright i need to know whats the formula on how to get the % of this problem...

i thought it would be this =SUM(G18-G25+G15/G12)

it comes out to be like 4096.0% thats not what i want should be like 93.9%

this is what im trying to get 127-82=45 then + 1228 = 1273/1355 = 0.9394833

but with what i put it it gives me that 4096.0% or whateer it is :(

any help?

Order-of-ops. Parantheses, Multiply/Divide, Add/Subtract.
Try using more parantheses, you might be dividing first, and that would throw the result off (as well as the sum() function)

=(G18-G25+G15)/G12
