The formula used to calculate 59 percent less than 564, 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 59 for P and 564 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 59 percent less than 564, as solved here:
PL = 564 - ((59 ÷ 100) × 564)
PL = 564 - (0.59 × 564)
PL = 564 - 332.76
PL = 231.24
59% less than 564 = 231.24
