The original price of the ring is £1400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of ring be x.

So,

$= x - 40\% \: of \: x = 840 \\ = x - \frac{40}{100} \times x = 840\\ = x - \frac{2}{5}x = 840$

$= \frac{5x - 2x}{5} = 840 \\ = \frac{3x}{5} = 840 \\ = x = \frac{840 \times 5}{3}$

$= x = 1400$

Answer 2

The original price of the ring is Rs. 2100.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount of saving = £840

i.e. 40% of the original price .

Let the original price of the ring be 'x'.

According to question, it becomes,

$\dfrac{40}{100}\times x=840\\\\0.4x=840\\\\x=\dfrac{840}{0.4}\\\\x=2100$

Hence, the original price of the ring is Rs. 2100.
