GPT 3.5
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.
