A chair that cost $210 was reduced by 40% for a one-day sale. After the sale, the sale price was increased by 40%. What is the final price of the chair?

To get the final price of a chair we have to find 40% of 210, subtract it from 210. Then find 140% of it and it will be the result. Lets do this 40%=0.4 0.4 210=84$
Now we have to calculate increased price, so 100%+40%=140% 140%=1.4 1.4 84=117.6$ - its the final price of a chair.
