Answer 1

14,857.37

Explanation:

15,890.23 - Percentage decrease =

15,890.23 - (6.5% × 15,890.23) =

15,890.23 - 6.5% × 15,890.23 =

(1 - 6.5%) × 15,890.23 =

(100% - 6.5%) × 15,890.23 =

93.5% × 15,890.23 =

93.5 ÷ 100 × 15,890.23 =

93.5 × 15,890.23 ÷ 100 =

1,485,736.505 ÷ 100 =

14,857.36505 ≈ 14,857.37
