Default Creating a Formula in Excel

I am hoping some genius out there can help me with a formula.
I want to do this…. First cell has total sales of 10,000, Second sell has
fees of 100. I want the 3rd cell to tell me what percentage of the total
sales are going toward fees.
Anyone know? It would be appreciated if you could tell me what formula to
put in the 3rd cell.
Thanks rob

10,000 in A1

100 in A2

=(A1/A2)/100 in A3 and returns 1.#

If my comments have helped please hit Yes.

Thanks.

A1...........10000

B1...........100

C1 =B1/A1 returns 1.00%

Simple basic arithmetic...........no genius needed.
