I've been stuck on this for like an hour. Please Help. After a 10% reduction you purchase a new television for $414.00. What was the price before the reduction?

Question

If you realise you bought it for 90% of the original price, you should be able to work that back to 100%.

I have to come up with the formula and the answer.

@hutchy22: giving the answer away is not that helpful...

anonymous · Answer

If you show me how to work it I can figure out the answer.

anonymous · Answer

Think to yourself, 10% off of what original price is $414.00?

@ZeHanz I am sorry what did you want me to do I just went to Google and typed in the question...

zehanz · Answer

A formula? I would think a reasoning that explains it will do.
It is of course possible to work with formulas, but I think it is better to try to understand what's going on before doing that.
