Getting a Percent in Numbers?

[shuffles]

I'm having trouble get percentages in numbers. I want to get 5% of one cell and display the answer in another. Whats the formula for this.

cell * .05 ???

Worked although 5% of €19.90 came out as 0.995. I want it to come out with less numbers after the decimal point as I will be adding up the 5% for a whole column to get the total. It's for eBay. The 5% is the final value fee eBay takes of the price and in this case the price is €19.90.

I don't have Numbers so I can't tell you exactly how to do this, but there should be a button or an option to change how many decimal places are displayed. Look through the "Help."

If you're using Numbers .. on the toolbar at the top of the screen there are 2 buttons .. one with 2 decimal places going to the left and one with 1 decimal going to the right .... that's the one you would use to reduce the number of decimal places in the answer. FYI .. 5% of €19.90 is €1.00
