The formula used to calculate 17 percent less than 548, 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 17 for P and 548 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 17 percent less than 548, as solved here:
PL = 548 - ((17 ÷ 100) × 548)
PL = 548 - (0.17 × 548)
PL = 548 - 93.16
PL = 454.84
17% less than 548 = 454.84
