Edexcel IGCSE Math A Foundation 1.6.F reverse percentages
Practise reverse-percentage questions by choosing the final multiplier and dividing the given value to recover the original amount.
How this is tested
- Choose the final multiplier, such as 1.12 after a 12% increase or 0.85 after a sale.
- Divide the given sale price, score or distance by the multiplier to find the original value.
- Distinguish reverse percentages from finding the percentage change itself.
