The formula used to calculate 29 percent less than 294, 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 29 for P and 294 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 29 percent less than 294, as solved here:
PL = 294 - ((29 ÷ 100) × 294)
PL = 294 - (0.29 × 294)
PL = 294 - 85.26
PL = 208.74
29% less than 294 = 208.74
