@R3ACHVEVO idk if this answer is still valid (since its been 5 days ago) anyways you can solve that problem by first taking 15% of $5 . Basically how much is 15% in $5. Convert 15% to decimal which is .15 then multiply it by $5. The answer will give you 0.75 dollars the 15% of $5. Minus/decrease $5 by $0.75 and you will get the answer u r looking for. $4.25

hi if you have time to answer my question it would be really helpful so my question is that i don't know how to take percentages for example ''Decrease $5 by 15%''

and i have no clue how to do it and i can't understand the way my math teacher explains so if you have time it would be very nice thanks continue making great and simple videos thanks :)

to get the % of any number just divide the number by 100 and times it by the number your looking for the % of.So 15% of 40 to get that anwser khanacademy did 15 divide by 100 but left off the zero in his answer so its 0.15 but he wrote .15 and x that by 40.
