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?

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?
