Aring is now reduced to £840 this is a saving of 40% of the original price whats the original price of the ring

1400 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price = 100

Less: saving of 40%   =  40

Reduced price            = 60

Reduce price of 60 is equivalent to 840 dollars

Hence original price of 100 is equivalent to

100/60 = x/840

Or x = 1400 dollars.

Original price actual = 1400 dollars.

Verify: Original price = 1400

           Less: 40%      =    560

            Reduced price  = 1400-560 =840 (given)

Hence verified
