Successive increase in quantity by certain percentage.

Suppose X units of an item is available. p% is added to it first. Then q% of the increased quantity is added. Again r% of the increased quantity is added.

If the current amount becomes Y unit then, initial amount X is calculated using the following relation:

X = (Y × 100 × 100 × 100) / (100 + p)(100 + q)(100 + r)
