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%
