The formula used to calculate 62 percent less than 523, 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 523 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 62 percent less than 523, as solved here:
PL = 523 - ((62 ÷ 100) × 523)
PL = 523 - (0.62 × 523)
PL = 523 - 324.26
PL = 198.74
62% less than 523 = 198.74
