Hi :)
Ok, say the numbers are written along the top row such that

A1 = 646.15
A2 = 556.85

then 

A4 = A2/A1

Click on A4 and go up to the menus at the top to choose

Format - Cell - Number
in the first box "Category" select "Percentage"

I think it's better to avoid keying in the currency symbol and just format 
those cells as "Currency" instead of as "Percentages".  That way you still get 
the currency symbol anyway but don't have to type it in.  It also avoids 
confusions.  Note that i left a gap between the data and the calculation purely 
because i think it looks nicer.  

Regards from
Tom :)

I have a number $646.15
and a number $556.85
How do I make a formula in a new cell that is the percentage of the first 
number that equals the second number?
