Lets break this problem into multiple steps so you can see how problems like this need to be solved in the future.

1) To figure out what a whole number minus a percentage is we need to first calculate the percentage of the whole number.

-) 15% is the same as writing .15 and to calculate it's percentage of 1 we need to multiply it.

-) .15 x 1.00 = 0.15.

2) Now we just need to do the simple mathematical problem.

-) 1.00 - 0.15 = 0.85.

So in the end, 1 minus 15% is equaled to 0.85.
