Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

To start off, we need to divide 136 by 160 to find a decimal value.

136/160 = .85

This shows us that the value of the lawnmower is 85% of 160. To finish the problem, we simply subtract .85 from 1.

1 - .85 = .15

If we turn .15 into a percentage, we get 15%. We now know that the lawn mower decreased by 15%.
