Answer: 6.5% off

Step-by-step explanation:

£15.40 multiplied by 5 =£77

£77 multiplied by 0.935= £72

The discount is calculated by subtracting the list price from the selling price, dividing by the list price, and multiplying the result by 100 to get a percentage, and the further calculation for the discount can be defined as follows:

As we get,

When there is no discount then:

[tex]\to 5 \times 15.40=77\\\\ \to 55 <77<79.99\\\\[/tex]

So, the discount is [tex]6.5\%\\\\[/tex]

so, [tex]77 \times 6.8\%=5.005\\\\[/tex]

Therefore, the final discount value is "£5.005".
