Reverse percentage is the process of finding the original amount after a percentage increase or decrease has been applied.
Example on Reverse Percentage
A jacket is sold for $120 after a 20% discount. To find the original price of the jacket before the discount.
Worked Solutions
Original price of the jacket is considered 100%.
Since the jacket is sold at a 20% discount, the price after the discount is 100% – 20% = 80% the original price.
80% –> $120
100% –> 100/ 80 x $120 = $150
Hence, the original price of the jacket is $150.
