I don't think any of those answers is correct. The question asks for the percent decrease.
The percent decrease is 15%, not 0.15.
Last month, Bill's electric bill was $80.77. This month, Bill's bill was $69.06. What is the percent decrease?
0.01
0.16
0.15

yeah :/ and I don't know which I should be them
I'd tell your teacher that none of them is right. Tell him/her that the correct answer is 15%.
actually, I get 14%
The decrease was $11.71
11.71/80.77 = .1449
which is closer to .14 than .15
Pick 0.14 - 0.14 is 14%
just expressed as a decimal.
The wording is not optimal, but the two values are identical.

Steve is correct. It's 14%.
