The formula used to calculate 76 percent less than 49, 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 76 for P and 49 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 76 percent less than 49, as solved here:
PL = 49 - ((76 ÷ 100) × 49)
PL = 49 - (0.76 × 49)
PL = 49 - 37.24
PL = 11.76
76% less than 49 = 11.76
