The formula used to calculate 38 percent less than 710, 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 38 for P and 710 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 38 percent less than 710, as solved here:
PL = 710 - ((38 ÷ 100) × 710)
PL = 710 - (0.38 × 710)
PL = 710 - 269.8
PL = 440.2
38% less than 710 = 440.2
So, how does our formula work to calculate 38 percent less than 710? First, it takes 38 percent of 710, and then we subtract that result from 710 to get our final answer. We have provided an illustration below so you can better visualize 38 percent less than 710.
