Don't the families of the victims of Iraq and the war on terror, and the nation as a whole, deserve a collective truth for the worst foreign policy blunder in our history?
Q. 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?
