Question

This year, a small business had a total revenue of $42,900 . If this is 35% less than their total revenue the previous year, what was their total revenue the previous year?

Answer 1

if this value 35% less than the total, we conclude that:

42,900 = 65%

1% = 660

100% = 66,000

if you want to check the value, just do 65% of 66000, which equals to 42,900

hope it helps :)
