Answer

Find out the original price of the bracelet.

To prove

Formula

$Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}$

As given

A jewelry shop is having a sale.

A bracelet is now reduced to £420.

This is 70% of the original price.

Here

Part value = £420

Percentage = 70%

Put in the formula

$70 = \frac{420\times 100}{Total\ value}$

$Total\ value = \frac{42000}{70}$

Total value = £600

Therefore the original price of the bracelet is £600 .
