Let the original price of the furniture be \( x \).
After a 20% reduction, the price is 80% of the original price. Therefore, we can write the following equation:
\[
0.80x = 3520
\]
To find the original price \( x \), we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.80:
\[
x = \frac{3520}{0.80}
\]
Calculating this:
\[
x = 4400
\]
Thus, the original price of the furniture before the discount was **4400**.
