| An manager has been asked to submit
budget requirements for next year. |
|
|
| The manger needs to specify what
will be required each quarter. |
|
|
|
| The manager knows what has been
spent by each region in the previous year. |
|
|
| By analysing the past years
spending, the manager hopes to predict |
|
|
| what will need to be spent in the
next year.

Finding an original value
after an increase has been applied | | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | Example 4 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| An employ has to submit an expenses
claim for travelling and accommodation. |
|
|
| The claim needs to show the VAT tax
portion of each receipt. |
|
|
|
| Unfortunately the receipts held by
the employee only show the total amount. |
|
|
| The employee needs to split this
total to show the original value and the VAT amount. |
