Answer:

$20

Explanation:

  • 30% off original price

What was the original price of an ant farm whose sale price is $14?

14 is the price with the 30% discount, so 14 is 70% of the original price (100%-30% = 70%). we solve by finding 1% by dividing 14 by 70, we multiply the result by 100 and find the original price.

14 : 70 x 100 =

20 (original price)
