Let x be the original price.

Discount percentage = 40%

Price after discount = $3

So, x - \(\frac{40}{100} x\) = 3

\(\frac{100x-40x}{100}\) = 3

\(\frac{60x}{100}\) = 3

\(x = 3(\frac{100}{60} )\)

\(x=\frac{100}{20}\)

x = 5

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