A community center is offering a discount on swimming passes. The regular cost for a swimming pass is $6.00. Jake, Liza, and Manuel each buy a swimming pass at the community center. After the discount, the total cost for the three passes is $14.40. What is the discount the community center is offering?

Question 3 options:

20%


42%


71%


80%

Answer 1

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

What I did was just play with the numbers. But first, you'd multiply 6.00 time 3 because it's for the three people. Then just multiply 18 with .8 and bingo! The answer you get is 14.40, so the discount would be 80%

Hope this helps!
