1 Min Q&A – Fractions, Percentages & Compound Interest

Q: How do you solve a reverse percentage question without getting tricked?

A: Never take the percentage off the final price. If a jacket costs £80 after a 20% sale, that £80 equals 80% of the original cost. Divide £80 by 0.8 to reveal the true £100 original tag.
