5999 - 15% = 85% of 5999 = 5999*85/100 = 5099.15
800 minus 15 percent = 680
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
To subtract 15 percent from a number, multiply it by (1 - 15/100) = 0.85. Therefore, 350 x (1 - 15/100) = 350 - 0.85 = 297.5.
5999 - 15% = 85% of 5999 = 5999*85/100 = 5099.15
47.00 minus 15 percent is 39.95

240 - 15% = 240 x (1 - (15/100)) = 240 x 0.85 = 204
130 - 15% - 130 x (1 - (15/100)) = 130 x 0.85 = 110.5
289 - 15% = 289 x (1 - (15/100)) = 289 x 0.85 = 245.65
12 x (1 + (30/100)) = 15.6 x (1 - (15/100)) = 13.26 x (1 + (40/100)) = 18.564
89 pounds minus 15% = 85% of 89 pounds = 89*85/100 pounds = 75.65 pounds
I presume the question is "what is 10 percent of minus 100"10% x -100 = -10
