Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the problem

The sale price of the volleyball net is \$18, and it is being sold at a 10% discount. We need to find the original price before the discount.

Step 2: Set up the equation

Let the original price be \( x \). Since the discount is 10%, the sale price is 90% of the original price. This can be written as: \[ 0.90x = 18 \]

Step 3: Solve for \( x \)

To find the original price \( x \), divide both sides of the equation by 0.90: \[ x = \frac{18}{0.90} \] \[ x = 20 \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{x = 20}\)
