The formula used to calculate 30 percent less than 492, 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 30 for P and 492 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 30 percent less than 492, as solved here:
PL = 492 - ((30 ÷ 100) × 492)
PL = 492 - (0.3 × 492)
PL = 492 - 147.6
PL = 344.4
30% less than 492 = 344.4
So, how does our formula work to calculate 30 percent less than 492? First, it takes 30 percent of 492, and then we subtract that result from 492 to get our final answer. We have provided an illustration below so you can better visualize 30 percent less than 492.
