<h3>
Answer: 0.85</h3>
Explanation:
If we start off with $100 and decrease by 15%, then we are decreasing by $15 since 15% of 100 = 0.15*100 = 15
We start with $100 and drop to 100-15 = 85. Dividing this over the original 100 gets us 85/100 = 0.85
Put another way, 100% - 15% = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85
The decimal multiplier for "decrease by 15%" is 0.85; this sort of thing is useful if you wish to apply multiple discounts to a product.
Side note: the 0.85 can be thought of as 85%, so the product's new value is 85% of its original value

With percentage in the question, you divide the miles they drove by the total miles in the trip (and of course multiply it by 100).
Joe:
.3077 times 100= 31% (just rounded the percentage to the nearest whole number).
Adam:
.5385 times 100= 54%
Laura:
.1538 times 100= 15%
