Answer:

Let the original price be x

70% of x = 14

70x/100 = 14

70x/14 = 100

5x = 100

x = 100/5

x = 20

Therefore the original price = $20

Hope this helps!

Answer:

20$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 14 is 70% of the original price, the full price being 100%

We set up an equation to find 100%

14 = 70%      //So we divide by 7 on both sides to get 10%

2 = 10%        //Then times by 10 to get 100%

20 = 100%

As a general rule we always try to find 1%, 10%, 25%, or 50% of the original price, as these numbers are quite easy to multiply to 100%
