The formula used to calculate 25 percent less than 702, 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 25 for P and 702 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 25 percent less than 702, as solved here:
PL = 702 - ((25 ÷ 100) × 702)
PL = 702 - (0.25 × 702)
PL = 702 - 175.5
PL = 526.5
25% less than 702 = 526.5
So, how does our formula work to calculate 25 percent less than 702? First, it takes 25 percent of 702, and then we subtract that result from 702 to get our final answer. We have provided an illustration below so you can better visualize 25 percent less than 702.
