Question

This year, a small business had a total revenue of $16,500. If this is 34% less than their total revenue the previous year, what was their total revenue the previous year?

Answer 1

$25000

Explanation:

100% - 34% = 66%

We know that

66% = $16,500

We have to find 1%

16500 divided by 66 = $250

Then we have to find the 34%

250 times 34 = $8500

Then we add both numbers to find their previous year's revenue

$16500 + $8500 = $25000

So, their previous year's revenue is $25000
