How Do You Calculate Signal Power After Attenuation?

Hi,

I have a question regarding frequency, power...
Let's say I have signal with power level of X dBm and the signal has been attenuated by Y times.
What is the correct formula to use to get the final power ?

Thank You

For power ratios, use 10*log(Pf/Pi)
