Seth buys last year's best-selling novel, in hardcover, for $17.85 $⁢17.85 . this is with a 15% 15% discount from the original price. what was the original price of the novel?

$21.00

let the original price = 100%

then the discount price = 100 - 15 = 85%

divide $17.85 by 85 to obtain 1% then multiply by 100 to obtain original price.

original price = $17.85 × = $21
