If you have a question like "Joe paid $14.00 for a game, and that was %70 of the original price, what was the original price?" How would you find the answer? Percents have always been something I struggle with.

Answer: The original price of the game is $20.00.

Explanation:

Let X be the original price.

Usually, when you see the word “of” in a word problem, it indicates multiplication. So when something is “70% ‘of’ the original price”, you can view it as: 70%*X or 0.7*X. Since $14.00 equals 70% of the original price, you can come up with this equation and solve for X:

0.7x=14.00
x=20.00

Therefore, the original price of the game is $20.00.
