Default How can I remove the tax from a total to get the pre tax value ?

TaxedPrice = OriginalPrice*(1.175)
So: OriginalPrice = TaxedPrice / 1.175
With TaxedPrice in A1 use =A1/1.175
best wishes

If I try to remove 17.5% (UK Value Added Tax) from a total it's also
calculating the additional 17.5% on the original value as well. How can I
get
to the true original value?
