Decrease £120 by 15%
Irina-Kira [14]

To decrease this amount by 15% we must first find out what is 15% percent.

We can do that by multiplying the decimal of 15% by 120

15% = 0.15

0.15 x 120 = 18

So 18 is 15% of 120.

Wait! that's not the answer. We are asked to decrease by 15%

So 120 - 18 = 102

Your answer is £102
