Calculating a Percentage

Hi there,

I'm trying to separate GST from a total amount and am wondering if anyone
has a formula that can help me do this.

For example, I have a total of $901.07 and would like to know how much is
the base amount and how much is the GST. I've tried to subtract 7% but that
doesn't work out correctly.

Does anyone have any suggestion???

Thanks very much

Divide by 1.07
