The total for a baseball glove is $105.93, which includes a 7% sales tax. What is the original price of the glove?

Original Price + .07 * Original Price = 105.93
Original Price (1 + .07) = 105.93 divide both sides by ( 1 + .07)
Original Price = 105.93 / (1 + .07) = $ 99.00
Original Price = P
P+7% of P = 105.93
1P+0.07P = 105.93
1.07P=105.93
P=105.93/1.07
105.93/1.07 = $99
