Answer 1

Answer:

Discount percentage is 16.4% for the customers who purchase 6- coupon book .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

$Discount\ percentage = \frac{Discount\times 100}{Original charge of the oil change for 6 times}$

As given

Your station charges $15.95 for an oil change.

Original charge of the oil change for 6 times = 6 × Original charge for oil change .

                                                                          = 6 × 15.95

                                                                          = $ 95.7

As a promotion you sell six coupons for oil changes for $80.

Discount = Original charge of the oil change for 6 times - Charge by six coupons for oil changes .

               = $95.7 - $80

               = $ 15.7

Putting all the values in the above

$Discount\ percentage = \frac{15.7\times 100}{95.7}$

$Discount\ percentage = \frac{15700\times 10}{957\times 10}$

$Discount\ percentage = \frac{15700}{957}$

Discount percentage = 16.4%

Therefore the discount percentage is 16.4% for the customers who purchase 6- coupon book .

Answer 2

About 16%. Rounded to the nearest tenth is 20%
