The formula used to calculate 75 percent less than 359, 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 75 for P and 359 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 75 percent less than 359, as solved here:
PL = 359 - ((75 ÷ 100) × 359)
PL = 359 - (0.75 × 359)
PL = 359 - 269.25
PL = 89.75
75% less than 359 = 89.75
