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:

\(\$500\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

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

we know that

\(100\%-70\%=30\%\)

\(30\%=\frac{30}{100}=0.30\)

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

solve for x

Divide by \(0.30\) both sides

\(0.30x/0.30=150/0.30\)

\(x=\$500\)
