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.
800 minus 15 percent = 680
85%
To subtract 15 percent from a number, multiply it by (1 - 15/100) = 0.85. Therefore, 162 - 15% = 162 x 0.85 = 137.7.
15 percent of 11.19 is 1.67. Or 11.99 minus 15 percent is 9.52.
289 - 15% = 289 x (1 - (15/100)) = 289 x 0.85 = 245.65
47.00 minus 15 percent is 39.95
800 minus 15 percent = 680
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.

To subtract 15 percent from a number, multiply it by (1 - 15/100) = 0.85. Therefore, 162 - 15% = 162 x 0.85 = 137.7.
15 percent of 11.19 is 1.67. Or 11.99 minus 15 percent is 9.52.
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
32.06 - (15%) = 27.25
25,000 - (15%) = 21,250
15% - 300,000 = -299,999.85
