The formula used to calculate 4 percent less than 999, 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 4 for P and 999 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 4 percent less than 999, as solved here:
PL = 999 - ((4 ÷ 100) × 999)
PL = 999 - (0.04 × 999)
PL = 999 - 39.96
PL = 959.04
4% less than 999 = 959.04
