How do i reverse this formula? 2013-04-20
From MK:
I have 22,000,000 worth of gold and wants to want to resell the gold back with a profit. Each transaction of gold will have a transaction fee of 15%, so if i resell the gold back at 22,000,000, I will only get back 18,700,000 after 15% transaction cut. The current formula is X-15%X = Y where X = 22,000,000 and Y = 18,700,000 Will u be able to come up with a new formula if we don't know the value of X but we know the value of Y
Something like this X-15%X = 22,000,000. How do i reverse this formula to find the value of X
Thanks

A reverse PST calculation 2010-09-23
From Manning:
Hi, I'm a manufacturing contractor in Saskatoon. The way to calculate PST for us is using total contract amount x 70% then 5%. For example, contract amount of $100 x 70% x 5% = $3.5 (PST). The subtotal is using contract amount + PST. $100 + $3.50 = $103.50.

If you only know the subtotal is $103.50 including PST, how do you reverse calculation to get the contract amount?

Thank you very much for your help.

Reverse percentage 2006-04-19
From Mike:
How would I calculate a reverse percentage? Let me give you an example. I have two values that calculate to a success rate of 93.32. Total=1546051 Failures=103302. (1546051-103302)/1546051=93.32% success. Now how much would I need to increase the total value to get the success up to 95%?
