    Solver, goal seek or more simple formula

    Hi
    I wondered if someone could help - what formula i would use to calculate the attached

    I have costs of £433 I want to work out what fee I should charge that will achieve the costs exactly after 15% has been deducted from the fee?

    Sorry it sounds a bit simplistic but cant work it out

    Thanks in advance

    Algebra first, then programming:

    Assuming your formula is cost=charge-0.15*charge, simply solve the equation for charge. If your algebra is rusty, review this: http://www.purplemath.com/modules/solvelin3.htm
