Alright so if you have a negative number let's say -5 if you put the absolute value symbols around it like so |-5| then it becomes positive. Whatever is in the lines becomes positive, that's why I call it the positive box. It describes the distance of a number on the number line from 0 without considering which direction from zero the number lies. The number is never negative
let x = orginal price of the shorts
$21 = x(100%-20%) * 1.05
$21 = x(80%) * 1.05
$21 = 0.8x * 1.05
Subtract 1.05 from both sides
$19.95 = 0.8x
Divide 0.8 from both sides
$24.9375 = x
So the orginal price of the shorts are about $24.94
