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%

Answer:
The length of the shorter piece=0.35 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the lengths be as follow;
Shorter piece=x
Longer piece=15 cm longer than twice shorter piece(x)
Since 1 m=100 cm, 15 cm=15/100=0.15 m
Longer piece= (2×x)+0.15=2x+0.15
Total length=1.2 m
Total length=shorter piece+longer piece
Replacing;
1.2=x+2x+0.15
3x=1.2-0.15
3x=1.05
x=(1.05/3)=0.35
The length of the shorter piece=x=0.35
