    The original price was $26.40

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Set up the equation (s) for this situation. The total price was for six shovels, three of which were discounted by 33.3% from the initially marked-down price X:

    $102 = 3 * (X-$6) + 3 * ((X-$6) * (2/3))

    102 = 3X - 18 + 3 * (2/3) * X - 3 * (2/3) * 6

    102 = 5X - 30

    X = $26.40
