First you must find the percentage of the number and then subtract it.
For example: 36 less 25%
25% of 36 = 0.25 * 36 = 9
36 - 9 = 27
So 36 less 25% is 27.
To reduce a percentage to a decimal you just need to divide it by 100.
50% = 0.5 , 25% = 0.25 (as above), 21% = 0.21

To take a percentage of a price, multiply the price by the decimal equivalent of the percentage, which is the percentage divided by 100. 25 percent of $15.00 = 15 x 0.25 = $3.75 To take a percentage off a price, you can either subtract that number from the original price ($15.00 - $3.75 = $11.25) or multiply the original price by the decimal equivalent of 100 percent minus the discount. (15 x 0.75 = $11.25)
