To calculate the discount on the jacket, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Discount Rate}
\]
Given the original price of the jacket is $69.99, and the discount rate is 14% (or 0.14 in decimal form), we can calculate the discount:
\[
\text{Discount} = 69.99 \times 0.14
\]
Now performing the multiplication:
\[
\text{Discount} = 69.99 \times 0.14 = 9.7986
\]
Rounding this to the nearest cent gives us:
\[
\text{Discount} \approx 9.80
\]
Thus, the discount on the jacket is **$9.80**.
