Answer:

Let the original price be x.

Joe paid $14.00 for a board game which is the 70% of the original price.

Therefore, the original price is


70\% \: of \: x = 14 \\ (70)/(100)x = 14 \\ x = (14 * 100)/(70) \\ \boxed{ x = 20}

$20.00 is the right answer.

Let the original price = x

He paid 70% of the original price so 0.70x

This equaled $14:

SO the equation is 0.70x = 14

Solve for x by dividing both sides by 0.70:

x = 14/0.70

x = 20

The original price was $20
