The formula used to calculate 43 percent less than 247, 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 43 for P and 247 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 43 percent less than 247, as solved here:
PL = 247 - ((43 ÷ 100) × 247)
PL = 247 - (0.43 × 247)
PL = 247 - 106.21
PL = 140.79
43% less than 247 = 140.79
