    Hi,

    I'm truly stuck on this.

    I have a figure of 3337. I need to find out my starting figure, and then i need to apply a discount of 59% to bring me to 3337.

    What is the formula for this?

    I know the figure is in the region of 8130 but i'd like to know how to get there.

    Thanks.

    100% - 59% = 41%= 3337

    3337\41%= 1%

    1% * 100 = 100% = starting figure
