Answer: The percentage of the original price was his discount = 10%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: original price = $60
Price after discount = $54
Discount = Price after discount - original price
= $ (60-54) = $6
The percentage of the original price was his discount = [tex]\dfrac{Discount}{Original\ price}\times100[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{6}{60}\times100\%\\\\=\dfrac{1}{10}\times100\%\\\\=10\%[/tex]
Hence, the percentage of the original price was his discount = 10%
