Hi Stephanie,
3% x 667 = 20, so you have 20 "a" answers.
5% x 667 = 34 (rounding up). The difference gives you the answer of 14.
If you want to vary the "Goal" percent, you can format a cell to be %, say cell b1.
You can use algebra minus a countif equation, =(b1*667)-countif(a1:a667,"a") or just plain math
=(b1*667)-(b2*667), placing the 3% number in b2. You can use a counting formula to get to the 667 if that varies as well.
