A 50% increase is just taking the original amount and adding half of that towards the amount.

Example : 50% of 100 is 50 so a 50% increase to 100 would be 150

a formula for this would be X + (1/2×X) = Y

in your case we're working backwards with the known being 60

We can just plug in reasonable values for X until we get 60

50% of 40 is 20

40 + 20 = 60

so the original amount was 40
