Question

I know the way you figure percent.

Answer 1

Hello! Here's one way to do it.

Say, you take the 322.50 example you provided. Since .25% was deducted, this means that 322.50 is 75% of the original total, or 3/4. Now, you can set an equation. 322.50 = 3/4x.

To get x (in this case, it means 100%), you can do a few things. One option is to divide by 3, then multiply by 4. Another option is to multiply by 4/3 (or just the reciprocal in general). All of these things work, but the multiply by the reciprocal is what is the easiest, personally.

Let's use the example you gave:

322.50 = 3/4x

322.50 * 4/3 = x

x = 430

Hope this helps!
