How to tell original scale

[L._Rich@adobeforums.com]

I'm sure this is something easy and obvious but I haven't been able to figure it out or find info in the help file/manual.

If I click on a graphic (vector or bitmapped) and use the control window to scale a graphic either by keying in a percentage or by typing a desired height or width, once the transormation is complete, the percentage in the control window shows "100%."

If I scale the graphic again, it is again at 100% once the transformation is complete.

How do I determine what the ACTUAL scale is based on the original imported file?

For example, if I import a graphic, scale it to 50%, and then scale it an additional 10%, it clearly is not 100% of the size of the original image.

How do I find out what the actual scale value is, based on the original image I imported?

Thanks for your help.

Select it with the direct select tool (white arrow) and then check.

Thanks Bob, I knew it would be something very obvious that my brain hadn't figured out. Appreciate your help.
