Probably about, *scratches balls, ooh, I dunno, 375 to the power of 10, possibly? Then there'll be a deficit you'll have to make up..

Best to have a wank and a little break to think about things..

Hope that helps

Sorry I forgot the x 100 bit. I'm just so used to calculating percentages with decimals that I just do that bit in my head .

"You’re all wrong. The exact answer is:

So are you. You didn't say it was minus. Or it's a percentage decrease.

"(1-1.2)/1.2 = -16.67%"

What about the other way so if an item cost £1, you decrease it by 20% to make .80p how would you increase it back to £1

You're trying to remove 20p right. So you need to know what percentage 20p is of £1.20

So you go (20/120) x 100. That's the percentage you need to reduce by.

You're talking about to different amounts mate. To take a percentage from a figure you divide it by 1.(then the percentage you want to subtract).

Haha!! If you ever need to do it again it's just:

(New amount-original amount)/original amount x 100
