Since it is 70% OFF, then $150.00 is 30% of the original price.

Divide it all by 3,
$50.00 is 10%,
therefore $500.00 is the original price!

Answer:

$\$500$

Explanation:

Let

x------> the original price of the golf club

we know that

$100\%-70\%=30\%$

$30\%=(30)/(100)=0.30$

0.30x=150 ------> linear equation that can be used to find the original price

solve for x

Divide by
0.30 both sides

0.30x/0.30=150/0.30

$x=\$500$
