There are two ways - that are essentially the same.

Method I: Subtract the percentage from 100. Multiply this number by the original price and divide by 100.

Method II: Multiply the original price by the percentage and divide by 100. Subtract the result from the original price.

For example, original price = 300, and you want 15% less.

Method I: 15% from 100% = 85%

300*85/100 = 255

Method II: 15% of 300 = 300*15/100 = 45

300 - 45 = 255.

So, subtract first and then multiply or multiply first and then subtract. The choice is yours.
