Subject: Percentages

Can you give me ideas for teaching this lesson?

Use a formula for finding the original price of a sale item when only the
sale percent (ex. 30% off sale) and the sale price is given in the problem.
Example:
Joe bought a coat for $84.00 at a "30% Off Sale".  What was the original
price of the coat before the sale?
