I'm trying to figure out how to perform a reverse calculation. I have a result and I want to work backwards to find out what the original numbers or inputs were. Can someone explain the steps or provide an example?

For instance, if you are given 80% of a certain amount, you would write 80% = the given amount.

The next step is to divide both sides of the equation by the percentage. In this case, divide both sides by 80.

This division will yield the value of 1% of the original amount. It's crucial to perform the division accurately to ensure the correctness of the result.

Once you have the value of 1%, you can then find 100% by multiplying both sides of the equation by 100.
