Question
Is Johnny paid $4 for a board game. This is 70% of the original price. What was the original price?
you can solve with an equation
4 : 70 = x : 100
x = 4 * 100 : 70
x = 400 : 70
x = 5.71
5.71$ is your answer, you can round to 5.70
Seventy divide by a hundred is .70
Then you take .70 and divide from 4 and it will give you the answer of 0.175.
So the final answer will be $175 dollars.
