A ring is now reduced to 840 this is saving 40%of the original price .work out the original price of the ring

Answer 1

Answer: 1400

Step-by-step explanation: If it is saving 40% of the original price than it is 60% of the original price. 840=60/100*x, and so we divide both sides by 60/100. 840*100/60=1400. Therefore, 1400 is the original price.
