Let's represent the original price of the stuffed animal as x.
If the sale price is $17 and this is 85% of the original price, we can set up the following equation:
0.85x = 17
Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 0.85:
x = 17 / 0.85
x = $20
Therefore, the stuffed animal originally cost $20.
