Lets say that we see a product in a shop. It says that it now costs £70 after a 30% discount.
How would you work out the original cost?
With the above example it is easy, through a method of trial and error we can quickly come up with the original cost.
Does anyone know the proper method or equasion to use to work it out?

How do you calculate the original price of an item after you were given the discounted price? For example, I bought 3 item clothes and they were on 20% discount. I ended up paying after the discount. How can I calculate the original price of these items without the 20% discount?
I was able to answer this, however, I used trial and error until I finally got the correct answer. Is there an equation on how to solve this without doing a Trial and Error method?
