Thread: [SOLVED] Get original amount added by percentage

Take 10% of 10. Result will be 1. Now add 1 in 10. Result will be 11.

For example I have only amount 11 and 10% available. I want the original amount that is 10. How can I get this? Any formula?????

For this we use cross-multiplication.

You know that 11 = 100% + 10%

So 11 = 110%
And $\displaystyle x$ = 100%

$\displaystyle \frac{11}{x} = \frac{110}{100}$

Solve for $\displaystyle x$
