Excel Help

Can some help with a formula to calculate a bet of 3% of a $200 bank?

Assume bank balance is in cell A1

=sum(A1*3/100)

And, if you want to round it to nearest 50c

=round(A1*3/100/5,1)*5

I know it should be A1*3/500, but the above is easier to follow.

for closest 0.50c

=CEILING(A1*0.03,0.5)

or closest $1.00

=CEILING(A1*0.03,1)

Now, say I wanted to bet up to 6 horses in the same race. Using a bank of $2000 bet 3% per race how would i find the amount to bet on each horse.

=CEILING(a1*0.03,1)/6
