Best Answer

In order to find what 42% of off something is you times that number by 0.58 because 1 - 0.48 = 0.58

Therefore if you times the original number by 0.58 to get 105, dividing 105 will get you the original number.

In this case 105/0.58 = 181.0344827586206896551724137931

Another Example Is:

£20 is the Special Sale Price of a Top. The Top has a 10% discount, What is the Top's Original Sale Price?

20/0.9 = 22.23 or 22.(2222)*Recuring

Therefore the Tops price was £22.23
