The formula used to calculate 8 percent less than 294, 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 8 for P and 294 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 8 percent less than 294, as solved here:
PL = 294 - ((8 ÷ 100) × 294)
PL = 294 - (0.08 × 294)
PL = 294 - 23.52
PL = 270.48
8% less than 294 = 270.48
