What is 20 percent less than 145? What is the formula used to calculate 20 percent less than 145? How can we calculate 20 percent less than 145?
Here we will show you the formula used to calculate 20 percent less than 145 (20% less than 145), and then we will calculate the answer to 20 percent less than 145 using our formula. We will also illustrate what 20 percent less than 145 looks like.
The formula used to calculate 20 percent less than 145, 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 20 for P and 145 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 20 percent less than 145, as solved here:
PL = 145 - ((20 ÷ 100) × 145)
PL = 145 - (0.2 × 145)
PL = 145 - 29
PL = 116
20% less than 145 = 116
So, how does our formula work to calculate 20 percent less than 145? First, it takes 20 percent of 145, and then we subtract that result from 145 to get our final answer. We have provided an illustration below so you can better visualize 20 percent less than 145.
