Find the original amount.

Let's say that you now have $90, which has had 10% taken off of something.

Use a variable x : x = original amount

$90 = 90% of x

$90 / .9 (90%) = x

$100 = x

So your original amount would be $100

Now take off 15% - ->100 x .15 = 15

100 - 15 = 85

But, if you are lazy and just want a formula, here is how you would do it:

If m is your amount of money you have now (after 10% has been taken off), then the formula is as follows-

(m / .9) x .85
