    Original price $50.40

    40% off means $14.40 off the original price!

    The math is simple:

    If the discounted price is $36 after a 40% discount that means that 36 + 40/100 * 100 = 36 + 14.4 = $50.40

    Let the original price of headphone = x

    there is 40% discount which is 0.40x

    so the payment price will be x-0.40x = 0.60x

    Given that paid amount is $36

    so both will be equal

    0.60x = 36

    x=36/0.60

    x=60

    Hence final answer is $60.
