Formula to back tax out

I have a spreadsheet with the total including taxes in Column D2 and I want to show the pretax amount in Column B2 and show the tax separate in Column C2. I need help writing the formula to perform that task, can someone please help me.

    Let's say the tax rate (a percentage) is in cell K1.

    In B2:

    =100%/(100%+$K$1)*D2

    In C2:

    =$K$1/(100%+$K$1)*D2

    The formulas can be filled or copied down to the cells below, if required.
