    Simon, in C1 it could be

    =IF(A1>=B1*2,"x","")

    and drag it down.

    Alternatively you may apply conditional formatting rule to entire range with formula like

    =$A1>$B1*2

    and with desired format.

    Instead of B1*2 it could be B1*1.5 for 50%, etc. Even better to keep percent in helper cell, let say E1. When B1*(1+$E$1). In E1 it could be 100%, 50%, whatever.
