M-(M•0.16) and M(.84) because the first one you need to multiply to find what 16% of m is then subtract that by m for the second one you subtract .16 from 1 which is .84, then you multiply that by m which will automatically take the 16% decrease which will give you your answer. Both ways give you a 16% decrease of m. I hope this helped
