To reverse a percentage decrease you divide it by the decrease (+ 100%)
For example we will pick the number, 100, which is decreased by 15% to 85.

To make 85 back to 100 we divide it by the decrease (1-0.15):
85 / 0.85 = 100

To find out how much 85 increased to get back to 100, we do:
15 / 85 = 0.1765 = %17.65

15 is the reduction/difference, and 85 is the with reduction total.

Because percentages stay the same, this is applicable to any numbers, from this, we know that whenever something is reduced by 15% - when restored to it's original is increased by %17.65

The answer is %17.65

Increase 250ml by 85%
vampirchik [111]
The easiest way to do a problem like this is to think about the fact that you have 100% and you want to add another 85%.
This is 185% of the quantity that you have.
Multiply 250 by 185% or 1.85.
250 * 1.85 = 462.5 ml
