Percentage Calculation Problem

67 Views Asked by At

I have some financial reports, I can see user deposits of:

£12.90

But actually, the real deposit is £15, but because of fees which I've worked out is 14%, it brings it down to £12.90.

On my report I can see numerous deposits such as

£12.90
£8.60 

But when I try to add 14% on to these values it doesn't give me the correct answer

e.g. 14% of £12.90 = £1.80 + £12.90 = £14.70

How would I do the calculation from the deposits in my report to get the correct answer.

I hope this is explained well.

When you have $12.90$ pounds then they are equal to $86\%$. $14\%$ have been already subtracted (from $100\%$).

To get $100\%$ you have to divide $12.90$ by $86$. Now you have $1\%$ from $100\%$.

The result has to be multiplied it by $100$ to get $100\%$.

$12.90\cdot \frac{100}{86}=15.00$

$15$ pounds are equivalent to $100\%$
