Here we will show you the formula used to calculate 13 percent less than 248 (13% less than 248), and then we will calculate the answer to 13 percent less than 248 using our formula. We will also illustrate what 13 percent less than 248 looks like.
The formula used to calculate 13 percent less than 248, 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 13 for P and 248 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 13 percent less than 248, as solved here:
PL = 248 - ((13 ÷ 100) × 248)
PL = 248 - (0.13 × 248)
PL = 248 - 32.24
PL = 215.76
13% less than 248 = 215.76
So, how does our formula work to calculate 13 percent less than 248? First, it takes 13 percent of 248, and then we subtract that result from 248 to get our final answer. We have provided an illustration below so you can better visualize 13 percent less than 248.
