The price of a cooker was reduced by shelling 850 during the sale this represented a 17% discount determined the selling price in the marked price of the cooker

Answer 1

Let the marked price of the cooker be x.

The price reduction is 17% of the marked price, so the reduced price is:
x - 0.17x = x(1 - 0.17) = 0.83x

We know that the reduced price is $850 less than the marked price:
0.83x = x - 850

Solving for x:
0.17x = 850
x = 850 / 0.17
x = $5000

Therefore, the marked price of the cooker was $5000 and the selling price after the discount is $5000 - $850 = $4150.
