The formula used to calculate 40 percent less than 423, 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 40 for P and 423 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 40 percent less than 423, as solved here:
PL = 423 - ((40 ÷ 100) × 423)
PL = 423 - (0.4 × 423)
PL = 423 - 169.2
PL = 253.8
40% less than 423 = 253.8
