What is the best way to cacluate the inverse of a percentage? For example:
100 * .85 = 85
85 * x = 100
x = 100 / 85
x = 1.17647
Also,
279 * .85 = 237.15
237.15 * x = 279
x = 279 / 237.15
x = 1.17647
For any percentile y
(i.e. .85
), how do I cacluate its inverse (i.e. 1.17647
)? Is the best way to just choose arbitrary numbers (operands) as I've done above? Or is there a more elegant solution?
