Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need a reverse percentage?

When you know the final amount and the percentage it represents but not the original — e.g. a $90 price is 75% of the original, so the original was 90 ÷ 0.75 = $120.

What if the percent was an increase?

If a value grew by P%, the original = final ÷ (1 + P/100). A $115 price after a 15% increase started at 115 ÷ 1.15 = $100.

Can the percent be more than 100?

Yes — 12 being 150% of a number means the original is smaller: 12 ÷ 1.5 = 8.
