    I need help with a Formula please

    As title says i have been racking my brains for the last hour trying to figure this out and have finally given in and decided to ask on here.

    Basically if i have a price say £100 and i have a customer that normally gets a 20% discount, So the customer would only pay £80.

    I need to lower the price by 14% so the new price is £86 but i still need the customer to be paying £80... what would the formula be to work out the customers new %?

    I hope that made sense and thanks in advance!

    Sorry my explenation wasn't great, with the example i gave the new customer discount would be 6.98%
    So on the new product price of £86 the customer will still be paying £80 with the new 6.98% discount.

    It's the new Customer discount % i need the formula to work out.

    Hope that clears it up.
