The formula used to calculate 62 percent less than 537, 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 537 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 62 percent less than 537, as solved here:
PL = 537 - ((62 ÷ 100) × 537)
PL = 537 - (0.62 × 537)
PL = 537 - 332.94
PL = 204.06
62% less than 537 = 204.06
