£x - 12.5% = £760.00, what is x?

my 12.5% commission, i received £760.00, but i cannot work out the original figure, please help??

Captain Sarcasm

If you can't work that out you need to go to a non-commission based job, try a job on the bins.

stwilsons

x = £760.125

£x - 0.125 = £760
therefore x=£760.125.

I think you're looking for the answer to a different question. £760 is 12.5% so what is the original figure?

760 is 12.5% of 6080

@rrsu

x - 12.5 % of x = 760
x(1 - 1/8) = 760
7/8x = 760
so

x = 760 * 8 /7
x = 868.57

£869-12.5%=£760.375

£x - 12.5% = £760.00,
That is mathematical:

£x - 125/1000 = £760 | +125/1000
£x = £760 +125/1000 | / £
x = (£760 +125/1000) / £

Sharon R

12.5% = 760
25.0% = 1520 x 4 = 6080

or
8 x 760 (12.5%) = 6080

Faye H

£760 / 12.5% = £6080

You don't subtract. If you received £760 and that is 12.5% of some number, the you divide 760 by .12.5% or .125

jason

you're equation is wrong. If you recieved 12.5% commission, and this 12.5% commission equalled £760 then the amount you made to earn that commission would be

0.125x=760

x here is £6080

To earn your commission at 12.5% of £760, you therefore must have made £6080 in sales.

855

Try 760 x 1.125 = about 855
