Let the original price of the bicycle be x.

We know that the bicycle has been marked down by 40 percent, so the new price is 60 percent of the original price.

This can be represented by the equation:

0.6x = ₦120

Solving for x, we get:

x = ₦120 / 0.6

x = ₦200

Therefore, the original price of the bicycle was ₦200.
