Question

A rice cooker was sold for $60 after a discount of 60% waht was the usual price of the rice cooker​

Answer 1

Discounted price = $60

Discount = 60%

Let the usual price be x.

So, x - (60% of x) = $60

=> x - [(60/100) × x] = $60

=> x - (60x/100) = $60

=> x - (3x/5) = $60

=> (5x/5) - (3x/5) = $60

=> 2x/5 = $60

=> 2x = $60 × 5

=> 2x = $300

=> x = $300/2

=> x = $150

So, the usual price is $150.
