Hi, =F24/(1-F25)
In above formula (1-F25) will give you 35%. So basically you are dividing $18.25 by 35%. It will give you the value of 100% (i.e. if $18.25 is 35% then what is 100%) For ex: If I purchase xyz product for $18.25 with 65% discount on it. Now I want to calculate the original price of product. For this I will use above formula [$18.25 / (100%-65%) or $18.25 / (1-65%)]. It will give me the original price of the xyz product (before deducting 65% discount). I hope you got it. I know some one can explain more easily than this. Regards, Swapnil.
