How do I calculate the percentage left to achieve my goal?

I need help with a math problem...



My goal for 2009 is 10,289

the current amount I've raised is 4,742



I know I need to raise 5,547 to achieve that goal. How do I calculate the percentage left to my goal. Like the percentage of how close I am to completing the goal. For some reason my excel formulas don't look right.



I'm kind of thinking of it like fund raising. How do they calculate the percentage of money they've raised in relation to the goal.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.

percentage left is (5547/10289) x 100%



percentage raised is (4742/10289) x 100%



!!!!
you just divide 4,742 by 10,289.

which gives a decimal of .046.....

so you're 46% of the way there.How do I calculate the percentage left to achieve my goal?
All you need to do is divide the number left by your goal. You will get a dicimal so times it by 100 and you'll get your %.
