Because there are 360 degrees in a circle and the equator of the Earth is a circle.
There are 15 degrees of longitude in each timezone, because there are 360 degrees of longitude and 24 hours a day, so 360/24 is 15.
To convert decimal degrees east to decimal degrees west, you can subtract the east longitude from 360. For example, if the longitude is 80 degrees east, to convert it to degrees west, you would do: 360 - 80 = 280 degrees west.
