\bf \qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Decay} \\\\ A=P(1 - r)^t\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\to &15000\\ r=rate\to 20\%\to (20)/(100)\to &0.20\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &3\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=15000(1-0.20)^3\implies A=15000(0.80)^3

Multiply 15000 by 0.8³ to get $7680
You get 0.8 because 100% minus 20% is 80% so you turn that into 0.8 and its 0.8³ because theres 3 years. Hope that made sense!
