1. ## Equation Request

First of all, I apologize upfront for being a n00b leech kind of character, but frankly I'm not sure where else to turn for help other than forums full of math-savvy folk.
I'm sure this for those here will be simple but I'm an adult long out of high school and college who doesn't usually touch numbers. For this, I also apologize.

Recently, a company I work with enacted a 2.5% fee on processing funds. The cap is $250 which is obviously reached at$10,000 but for amounts lower than that, I'd very much like to have to way to calculate how much total I must process to get an even amount.

So... let's say $5000 is the amount I want to end up with. I need to know a way to figure out the total amount x .025 = 5000 It's obviously not as simple as 5000 x .025 Anyone able (and obviously willing) to help? 2. ## Re: Equation Request Originally Posted by Bugtrot First of all, I apologize upfront for being a n00b leech kind of character, but frankly I'm not sure where else to turn for help other than forums full of math-savvy folk.
