Since increased (key word) means addition.
"of" means multiply
So 65% * 40
65% is the same as 0.65 (% means divide by 100).
0.65 * 40 = 26

A1 = first term
a1 = 15
---------------------------------------------
d = common difference
d = (second term) - (first term)
d = a2 - a1
d = 9-12
d = -3
The negative common difference indicates that the terms are decreasing
Each time we subtract 3, or add -3, to get the next term.
----------------------------------------------
nth term of arithmetic sequence
an = a1 + d(n-1)
an = 15 + (-3)(n-1)
an = 15- 3n + 3
an = 18 - 3n
