Answer 1

Answer:

16.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a station charges $15.95 for a lubrication job and as a promotion sell six coupons were sold for lubrication jobs for $80.

We are to find the percentage discount that was being offered on purchase of 6 coupon lube book.

Original price of 6 coupons = 6 × 15.95 = $95.7

Difference in prices = 95.7 - 80 = $15.7

Percentage discount = 15.7/95.7 = 16.4%
