Q. If a hockey stick has a sale price of $20\$20, what was the original price?\newline$\$____
  1. Calculate Discount Percentage: Calculate the discount percentage using the given sale price and original price formula.\newlineDiscount percentage = (Original Price−Sale Price)/Original Price×100(\text{Original Price} - \text{Sale Price}) / \text{Original Price} \times 100\newlineLet's assume the discount was 20%20\% (common sale discount).\newline20=(Original Price−20)/Original Price×10020 = (\text{Original Price} - 20) / \text{Original Price} \times 100
  2. Solve for Original Price: Solve for Original Price.\newline20=(Original Price−20)Original Price×10020 = \frac{(\text{Original Price} - 20)}{\text{Original Price}} \times 100\newline20100=(Original Price−20)Original Price\frac{20}{100} = \frac{(\text{Original Price} - 20)}{\text{Original Price}}\newline0.2=1−20Original Price0.2 = 1 - \frac{20}{\text{Original Price}}\newline20Original Price=0.8\frac{20}{\text{Original Price}} = 0.8\newlineOriginal Price=200.8\text{Original Price} = \frac{20}{0.8}\newlineOriginal Price=25\text{Original Price} = 25
