Question

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

Answer 1

Joe paid 14.00 for a board game.

This is 70% of the original price X (70/100 of original price).

We have the ratio: 14/X = 70/100

=> The original price: X = 14 x 100/70 = 20

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Hello There the Correct answer is 20% 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

Hope it helps!
