Answer:

Not sure which "process" it is. But discount amount is $3 (new price would be 57)

Explanation:

  1. Equation would start with 5% x 60
  2. 5% would be equivalent to the fraction 5/100
  3. Take 5/100 and multiply 60
  4. (60 x 5)/100 = 3 <-- discount amount
  5. Take $3 off $60 and the new price is $57
