Excel showing 0.5% x 100 = 1.5??

Hi guys:

I have a quick Excel de-bug question please - in calculating the interest on something, my Excel is currently showing me that A * B = 1.5, where as my A is 0.5%, B is 100. I'm not sure why (I have circular calculation turned on). In the step-through formula, it's clearly showing me that it is 0.5% *100 that I'm looking at (no issue with cell positioning).

Any chance any of you know how to fix this? Thanks!

I mean my Associate (not MBA Associate) builds some insane models, but didn't know the conditional formatting formula for alternate row shading...we're not coders. Not everyone memorizes every excel formula under the sun
