a tent is sold for £120.70 after having been reduced by 15%.
how much did the tent cost before the reduction?

The original price of the tent is 100%.
Original price = 100%.
Second-hand price = 100% - 15% = 85%.
So £120.70 = 85% of the original price.
So 1% of original price = £120.70 ÷ 85
Original price = 100% = 100 x 1% = 100 x (£120.70 ÷ 85)
= £142
