The formula used to calculate 27 percent less than 374, 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 27 for P and 374 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 27 percent less than 374, as solved here:
PL = 374 - ((27 ÷ 100) × 374)
PL = 374 - (0.27 × 374)
PL = 374 - 100.98
PL = 273.02
27% less than 374 = 273.02
