e)
Note: D9 must be ABSOLUTE in the formula. Absolute references do not change when using
the Fill Handle method. This is completed by adding a dollar sign that precedes the column
or row reference.
You will create the ABSOLUTE reference by using the following formula:
=D5 /$D$9
Notice the difference between the regular percentage formula, which is D5/D9, and the
absolute formula.
Using the Point Mode method, input the absolute reference percentage formula in E5.
Now use the Fill Handle to copy the formula to E6, E7, and E8.
