I have the following number: 17,199.53. I need to transfer this amount into 2 pieces 1. the principle 2. 17.8% of the principle. I figured out that the correct numbers are 14,600.62 & 2,598.92 (which is 17.8% of 14,600.02). How can I structure this proportion into a formula so that I can multiply my principle by 17.8% and still equal the total??
