What is 0 percent less than 42? What is the formula used to calculate 0 percent less than 42? How can we calculate 0 percent less than 42?
Here we will show you the formula used to calculate 0 percent less than 42 (0% less than 42), and then we will calculate the answer to 0 percent less than 42 using our formula. We will also illustrate what 0 percent less than 42 looks like.
The formula used to calculate 0 percent less than 42, as well as other percent less than problems, can be seen below:
PL = OV - ((P ÷ 100) × OV)
PL (Percent Less) is the answer we want, P (%) is the percent, and OV (Original Value) is the starting value. Therefore, when we substitute 0 for P and 42 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 0 percent less than 42, as solved here:
PL = 42 - ((0 ÷ 100) × 42)
PL = 42 - (0 × 42)
PL = 42 - 0
PL = 42
0% less than 42 = 42
So, how does our formula work to calculate 0 percent less than 42? First, it takes 0 percent of 42, and then we subtract that result from 42 to get our final answer. We have provided an illustration below so you can better visualize 0 percent less than 42.
In our illustration above, the areas shaded in blue and red add up to 42, and the area shaded in red is 0 percent of 42. In other words, blue is 42, red is 0, and blue plus red is 42.
