Hello - I'm having a hard time figuring out the Excel formula for the scenario below:

Known:
a = $140,000
b = 10%
c = $154,000

Formula: =a+(a*b) = c
$140,000+($140,000*10%) = $154,000

Scenario: I want to produce the same outcome ($154,000) with adjusted variables. If I drop the value of b to 5%, what is the formula to calculate the adjusted value of a?
a = unknown
b = 5%
c = $154,000

a+(a*5%) = $154,000 *Obviously this is not the formula, I'm just trying to illustrate what I need help figuring out - which is the value of "a"

Thanks in advance!
 

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
Your formula could be changed to:
a*(1+percent)=c
$140,000*1.10=$154,000
so
a = unknown
b = 5%
c = $154,000

a= $154,000/1.05

Thank you SO much! I really appreciate you helping me and also not making me feel embarrassed. I can't believe how simple that was!
