To find the temperature after a decrease of 15°F, we need to subtract 15 from the original temperature of 31°F:

31°F - 15°F = 16°F

Therefore, the temperature will be 16°F after a 15-degree drop.

We can write an equation to show this calculation as:

T (final temperature) = T (original temperature) - D (degree drop)
T = 31 - 15
T = 16

Where T represents the final temperature and D represents the degree drop.
