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%?

Reverse pecentage 2005-03-01
From Nathan:
Question for you. If I have spent $10.00, what is the mathamatical equation to
figure out what the G.S.T (7%) was?

Also if I were to spend $80.00 on a hotel, and I would like to know how much
G.S.T (7%) and how much provincial tax (6%) I spent how would I go about this.
