Question 339406
To find the original price, do the following:

(1) 100% - given % = new percent

(2) Divide sold price by the new percent

=========================================

100% - 20% = 80%

We now divide 14.40 by 80 percent to find the original price of the shirt.

Remember that 80 percent must be written in decimal form 0.80.

NOTE: We must change all percents to decimal form.  Remember this for future problems.

Original price = 14.40/0.80

Original price = 18

The original price of the shirt is $18.
