The formula used to calculate 59 percent less than 565, 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 565 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 59 percent less than 565, as solved here:
PL = 565 - ((59 ÷ 100) × 565)
PL = 565 - (0.59 × 565)
PL = 565 - 333.35
PL = 231.65
59% less than 565 = 231.65
