The formula used to calculate 27 percent less than 378, 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 378 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 27 percent less than 378, as solved here:
PL = 378 - ((27 ÷ 100) × 378)
PL = 378 - (0.27 × 378)
PL = 378 - 102.06
PL = 275.94
27% less than 378 = 275.94
