title: Reversing Order Scale - Math formulae help needed
body: <p>Can anyone help with a formula / equation to help with my problem?</p>
  <p>I'm trying to do (reverse) the following..........</p>
  <p>I know the Base Price to be 250
  The no. of orders are 8
  Each order increases at scale of 1.5</p>
  <p>=250*(1.5^7) = 4271.48 total</p>
  <p>Im trying (and failing) to come up with a formula to reverse the above equation to provide me with the the Base Price (assuming I now know the total, in addition to the no of orders and the scale)</p>
  <p>i.e what formula would I use to get the Base Price, assuming I know know the total is 4271.48 (based on the same 8 orders and scale of 1.5)</p>
  <p>I've attached a quick spreadsheet to help describe my problem!</p>
