To find the original price of the computer, you can use the information given about the discount.
Let the original price be \( P \).
Since Jett received a 40% discount, he paid 60% of the original price. Therefore, we can write the equation:
\[
0.6P = 210
\]
To find \( P \), divide both sides by 0.6:
\[
P = \frac{210}{0.6}
\]
Calculating that gives:
\[
P = 350
\]
Therefore, the original price of the computer was **$350**.
