What is 10 percent less than 520? What is the formula used to calculate 10 percent less than 520? How can we calculate 10 percent less than 520?
Here we will show you the formula used to calculate 10 percent less than 520 (10% less than 520), and then we will calculate the answer to 10 percent less than 520 using our formula. We will also illustrate what 10 percent less than 520 looks like.
The formula used to calculate 10 percent less than 520, 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 10 for P and 520 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 10 percent less than 520, as solved here:
PL = 520 - ((10 ÷ 100) × 520)
PL = 520 - (0.1 × 520)
PL = 520 - 52
PL = 468
10% less than 520 = 468
So, how does our formula work to calculate 10 percent less than 520? First, it takes 10 percent of 520, and then we subtract that result from 520 to get our final answer. We have provided an illustration below so you can better visualize 10 percent less than 520.
In our illustration above, the areas shaded in blue and red add up to 520, and the area shaded in red is 10 percent of 520. In other words, blue is 468, red is 52, and blue plus red is 520.
