how would i find an amount (x) decreasing by .15%?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

times x by 0.85

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or x(1.00-0.15)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it \(15\%\) or is it \(.15\%\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if it is \(15\%\) then what @Chelsea04 said if it is \(.15%=0.0015\) then it is \(1-.0015\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply by 99.85
