The formula used to calculate 62 percent less than 516, 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 62 for P and 516 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 62 percent less than 516, as solved here:
PL = 516 - ((62 ÷ 100) × 516)
PL = 516 - (0.62 × 516)
PL = 516 - 319.92
PL = 196.08
62% less than 516 = 196.08
