The formula used to calculate 40 percent less than 428, 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 428 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 40 percent less than 428, as solved here:
PL = 428 - ((40 ÷ 100) × 428)
PL = 428 - (0.4 × 428)
PL = 428 - 171.2
PL = 256.8
40% less than 428 = 256.8
