The video tutorial explains how to determine the original price and discount amount of a shirt on sale for $9.90, reflecting a 70% discount. Using a bar diagram, the tutorial shows that $9.90 is 30% of the original price. By dividing the bar into 10 equal parts, each representing 10%, the original price is calculated as $33. The discount amount is then determined to be $23.10, which is 70% of the original price.
