The formula used to calculate 85 percent less than 633, 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 85 for P and 633 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 85 percent less than 633, as solved here:
PL = 633 - ((85 ÷ 100) × 633)
PL = 633 - (0.85 × 633)
PL = 633 - 538.05
PL = 94.95
85% less than 633 = 94.95
