To find the percentage of a number, multiply the original number by (the number of percent divided by 100). So, in this instance:

15 percent of 7000 is equal to (15 / 100) = 0.15 x 7,000 = 1,050.

To find percentage decrease of a number, subtract (the number of percentage decrease divided by 100) from the number 1, and multiply the resulting decimal number by the original number.

15 percent off 7000 is equal to (1 - 0.15) = 0.85 x 7,000 = 5,950.
