The formula used to calculate 12 percent less than 484, 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 12 for P and 484 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 12 percent less than 484, as solved here:
PL = 484 - ((12 ÷ 100) × 484)
PL = 484 - (0.12 × 484)
PL = 484 - 58.08
PL = 425.92
12% less than 484 = 425.92
