Find percentage of time use

Percentages allow you to relate what part of the day you spend on each activity in relationship to the total day. To find percentages, you divide the number of minutes spent on one activity by the total number of minutes in a day and multiply by 100. This can be done on a spreadsheet for all of your activites once a formula is added. After moving a column, add a column for percentage. Refer to Technical Hints on how to move a column. Use the spreadsheet to calculate the percentages. Refer to Technical Hints on how to calculate percentages.
