Correct Answer: 146.625


Solution : Given that $p$ is 15 % more than 150, we can calculate p as follows:
$p = 150 + (\frac{15}{100}\times150)= 172.5$
Now, $k$ is 15% less than $p$
$k = p - (\frac{15}{100}\times p)$
$= 172.5 - (\frac{15}{100}\times172.5)= 146.625$
Hence, the correct answer is 146.625.
