To find the original amount, you can reverse the process of finding a percentage. Here's how:

1. Convert the percentage to a decimal: Divide the percentage by 100. In this case, 40% becomes 0.40.

2. Divide the final amount by the decimal: Divide 525 by 0.40.

525 / 0.40 = 1312.5

Therefore, the original amount is 1312.5.
