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 549 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 30 percent less than 549, as solved here:
PL = 549 - ((30 ÷ 100) × 549)
PL = 549 - (0.3 × 549)
PL = 549 - 164.7
PL = 384.3
30% less than 549 = 384.3
