Question

Joe paid $14.00 for a board game this is 70% of the original price what was the original price

Answer 1

start off by finding 10% of $14. in order to find 10%, divide it by 70 which gives 2. you now need to make the 30% to add to the 70%, by timesing the 2 by 3to give 6. now all you need to do it add the 6 to 14 to make 20!

so your answer is $20

Answer 2

The original price was $20.00

Explanation:

Joe paid $14.00 for a board game.

This is the 70% of the original price.

Let the original price of a board game be x

70% of x = $14.00

0.70x = 14.00

x =
`(14)/(0.7)` = $20.00

The original price was $20.00
