Yes that's right."Percent" is always "percent OF" something. It always refers to the starting number.Since 115 is larger than 100, 15% OF 115 is more than 15% OF 100.
To subtract 15 percent from a number, multiply it by (1 - 15/100) = 0.85. Therefore, 162 - 15% = 162 x 0.85 = 137.7.
289 - 15% = 289 x (1 - (15/100)) = 289 x 0.85 = 245.65
