Since $14 is the price after a 30% discount then $14 is 70% of the original price.
$14/70=x/100 (100% would be the original price)
1400=70x or 1400/70 = $20!
You can double check the work by taking 30% off the $20 (10% would be $2, 30% would then be $6) 20-6=14!
This question does not make much sense. Brigid has already picked 112 bushels, and she picks at a rate of 58 bushels per hour, the scenario question does not make any sense. 58h + 112 = 5...? What does this mean? But whatever the left side of the equation is, first subtract 112 from both sides and divide by 58, then you will get the value of "h."
