What you need to do is multiply 0.918 by 6,400.
100% - 8.2% = 91.8%, so you want the value that is 91.8% of 6,400.

hey jessica! that is mine name i can tell you are kool!
but anyway how you do this problem is to multiply 6,400 by 8.2 which turns into .082 and then
take 6,400 and subtract the product (answer) of 6,400 times .082 and that is the value at the end of the year!

If it decreased by 8.2 percent, than means it only had 91.8 percent of it's value left:
Because full value-decrease=100%-8.2%=91.8%
91.8% of 6400=
.918*6400=5 875.2
Yi Chen has $5875.20 left.

6400 - (8.2% of 6400) = ?
(100% of 6400) - (8.2% of 6400) = ?
(91.8% 0f 6400) = ?
91.8/100 * 6400 = (91.8 * 6400) / 100
= 91.8 * 64 = $5875.20
