Let x be the original price.

Discount percentage = 40%

Price after discount = $3

So, x - [tex]\frac{40}{100} x[/tex] = 3

[tex]\frac{100x-40x}{100}[/tex] = 3

[tex]\frac{60x}{100}[/tex] = 3

[tex]x = 3(\frac{100}{60} )[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{100}{20}[/tex]

x = 5

Hence, the equation that would allow us to find the original price is 0.6x = 3.
