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.
