Formatting Problem

I'm new to mathcad, so this may be obvious, but I'm having trouble putting together my mathcad sheet in a "reviewer-friendly" format. What I want to do is type an equation for a variable, then have it explicitly sub in the real values for any variables in the equation, and then give me the final value of the solved variable (with correct units). The trouble I'm running into is that I can use combinations of explicit, solve, and float to almost get there, but there is always a problem. Either the units don't convert because I'm using symbolic calculations, or when I try to use the numerically solved variable in another, later equation it looks very wrong, or if I use a solve block the variable won't show its value in future explicit calls.

The attached file shows some of my trials and errors...

Catherine,

Is there any reason why you are trying to solve symbolically?

The attached might help point you in the right direction.
