Given a certain amount of money, m, and a percentage discount, d, how do I calculate the number of items, i, that I can purchase?
Is it simply $i = {m \over 1-d}$?

It depends on the price of the item. – paw88789 Aug 28 '17 at 17:16

Yes, right. I think my formula is calculating how much my money is worth at a given discount. – TheChemist Aug 28 '17 at 17:20

it doesn't matter about the price as it is reduced consistently – user29418 Aug 28 '17 at 17:20

So, given price, p, I think the correct formula would be $i = {m \over p(1-d)}$ – TheChemist Aug 28 '17 at 17:23
