Re: Write This Formula

Thanks for the quick reply,
The formula isn't producing the correct results. Its been over thirty years since I graduted college. Just can't remember how to do the math. Would you look at it again.
Here's the deal
1000 kg of airfreight

A1 rate is a per kilo rate plus fuel surcharge of $0.256 per kilo

X is a competitor's rate per kilo but the fuel surcharge is $0.314 per kilo plus a flat $9.00 fee all taxable at 6.25%.

I am trying to write an excel formula to find the value of x to match a1 rate.

need a math expert me to help write this forwula for excel
1000((value from cell)+.256)=(((x+.314)1000)+9)1.0625
I would like to plug in a value from a cell and find the comparative value x
I am comparing the airfregiht cost between two carriers that have different surcharges for fuel, secuirty, and tax. One has no security or tax.
Thanks
