If 13% was £35 increase on something (1 off)

[xLilacFairyx]

What would the original figure have been?

[factor-fiction]

I don't understand the one off bit.

[ChuckFickens]

35 / 0.13 = 269.230769

£35 = 113/100. To find original cost, £35 x 100/113

Thanks Chuck

Thought it would've been around that. One off Factor means QTY 1 off!

[Old_Geezer]

If £35 = 13%
£2.69 = 1%
£269 = 100%
(rounded up/down)

Homework ?

Not sure I understand the question, but if something cost £260.23 and the price went up by 13% the new price would be £35 higher, i.e. £304.23

[fadeout73]

£269.24

[sandyRoe]

£30.973

[sandyRoe]

ignore my answers. I failed maths GCSE.

[ChuckFickens]

Errr, sandy,

I'm pretty sure 35 can't be 13% of 30.973

[factor-fiction]

I mistyped that- it should say £269.23, but the total new price was right - £304.23

[sandyRoe]

I think I was looking for 87% of £35 and have got lost in the process.

[Old_Geezer]

Aye £35 was the increase not the final price.
