English translation:one thirteenth
Explanation:
If this is part of the contract and it looks as if it is, then accuracy is paramount and I would translate it literally. To use a decimal would give you something like 0.076923077 or 7.6923077% and would look silly. If it is not a signed contract or agreement then I would go with "rephrase"

neutral  philgoddard: I don't agree that contracts are sacrosanct and mustn't be changed. We simply wouldn't say this in English. And it's not a one-thirteenth discount unless you buy a multiple of thirteen.
