498.90 = result
.012 = percentage
what = original value
2006-11-24 03:11:10 · update #1
what is the formula for figuring this out
2006-11-24 03:12:37 · update #2
The original Value is 504.95
2006-11-24 03:22:35 · update #3
Let the original number be x
x*.012/100=498.9
x=498.9*100/.012
=49890/.012
=4157500

Add 1 to the percentage and multiply it by the answer. the result is the original number.

Do you mean
0.012% * x = 498.90
The original value (x) = 100 %
original value = (100/(the percentage))*result
in your case = (100/0.012)*498.90=4157500.
if you mean
0.012 * x = 498.90
than original value (x) = 1
original value = (1/(percentage))*result
in your case = (1/0.012)*498.90=41575

is/of = percent/100 I know the equals sign is probalbly not the best one to use but it will do. I use is over of beacuse it helps with understanding a word problem.
is = of(percent)/100
of = is(100)/percent
percent = is(100)/of

the general formula is ,
percentage = ( result /total )*100%
so to solve ur problem,
total = (result/%)*100
ie:- total = (498.9/0.12)*100
=415750

Let percentage be y and new value is x, old value is z
So, z + 0.01*y*z = x
or z = x/(1+0.01*y)

original value*1.12=final value
original value=final value/1.012
498.90 =x/1.012
x=1.012*498.90
=504.89
