Hi!
Since the price was decreased by 2%, that means that 14 is 98% (100% - 2%) of the original price. So, we just have to figure out 98% of what number is 14.
98% can be written in decimal form as 0.98.
We can set up the following equation:
14 = 0.98x
Now, divide both sides by 0.98:
14/0.98 = 14.2857143
