The calculations are too complex to show.....they include exponentials,
logs, and solving quadratics....I think what u want is:

B = 100D[(Y/A)^(1/[CD])-1]

C = log(Y)/[D(log(A) + log(BD/100 +1)]

D = [(-100) (+-) sqroot(100^2 - 400BY/CA)] / 2B

note: D is solution of a quadratic so there are two answers
ie.  (+-) means do once with + and once with - to get 2 solutions for D.

hope this helps
