To calculate the original selling price of the cooker before the discount:
Let x be the original selling price.
Discount = 17% = 0.17
Reduced price = Original price - Discount
850 = x - 0.17x
850 = 0.83x
x = 850 / 0.83
x ≈ 1024.10
Therefore, the original selling price of the cooker was approximately shilling 1,024.10.
Let x be the original selling price.
Discount = 17% = 0.17
Reduced price = Original price - Discount
850 = x - 0.17x
850 = 0.83x
x = 850 / 0.83
x ≈ 1024.10
Therefore, the original selling price of the cooker was approximately shilling 1,024.10.
