I paid 15% in fees totalling 363.00. What is my original total?

Question

my fees for selling is $363 which represents 15% of the total. what is my original total?  what is the formula?

Answer 1

Let the original total be x

 Formula: 15% * x = 363  

 

Writing 15% as a decimal : 15/100 = 0.15

 

0.15 * x = 363

 0.15 x / 0.15 = 363/0.15

x =2420

 

Original amount: $2420
