:cry:

Been about 8 years since I've done this. I could work it out on my own but I'm under pressure here! Thanks ztevin, more than helpful. Unlike that pompous {censored} jnmartin. Go home and cry yourself to sleep tonight because you aren't qualified for your job. Nothing pompous about what I wrote, if you can't divide two numbers you need to be flipping burgers bro. I took algebra back in 1996 and I can still remember it just fine.

Damn. Make it easy for the dude. 5000 / 1.25 = 4000 You take your final figure and divide by 1+the percentage applied to get to the final figure to get the original amount. Works the same as the formula above, but is much simpler to remember. yeah but you get into trouble when all you can remember is the cliffs notes version and dont know how to derive the solution to anything anymore

its basic first-year algebra i didnt know it needed to be spelled out ztevin did it though, so thanks to him

ps you need to go back through school if thats trouble for you AND you need to do it for work

x + (x*0.25) = 5000 1.25x = 5000 dont make me do the rest
