The price of a cooker was reduced by shillingated 950 during the sale this represented a 17% discount determine the selling price and the marked price of the cooker

Answer 1

Let the marked price of the cooker be x shillings.

Given that the price was reduced by 950 shillings, the selling price would be x - 950 shillings.

We are told that this reduction in price represents a 17% discount, so we can write:

0.17x = 950

Solving for x:

x = 950 / 0.17
x = 5588.24

Therefore, the marked price of the cooker is 5588.24 shillings.

The selling price of the cooker would be:

5588.24 - 950 = 4638.24 shillings

So, the selling price of the cooker is 4638.24 shillings.
