I'm terrible with Math...can someone help
I received a check today, minus a 25% fee. How do I figure out the full amount before the deduction was taken.
I'm sure it's easy...but I can't figure it out
TIA

Re: I'm terrible with Math...can someone help
Check amount x 1.25 = Full amount

Re: I'm terrible with Math...can someone help
Should be check amount divided by (1-.25) = full amount
For example, if it was $100 and you took 25% off you'd get a check for $75. To get back to the full amount, you'd take...
$75/(1-.25) = full amount
$75/.75 = $100

Divide your check amount by 0.75.
I think it's because your check amount is
n x 0.75 = Check Amount
So, divide both sides of equation by 0.75 to get n.

This is correct.
It took 2 ppl in the office to help me figure this out.
Thanks!
