What is 20 percent less than 325? What is the formula used to calculate 20 percent less than 325? How can we calculate 20 percent less than 325?
Here we will show you the formula used to calculate 20 percent less than 325 (20% less than 325), and then we will calculate the answer to 20 percent less than 325 using our formula. We will also illustrate what 20 percent less than 325 looks like.
The formula used to calculate 20 percent less than 325, 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 325 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 20 percent less than 325, as solved here:
PL = 325 - ((20 ÷ 100) × 325)
PL = 325 - (0.2 × 325)
PL = 325 - 65
PL = 260
20% less than 325 = 260
So, how does our formula work to calculate 20 percent less than 325? First, it takes 20 percent of 325, and then we subtract that result from 325 to get our final answer. We have provided an illustration below so you can better visualize 20 percent less than 325.
In our illustration above, the areas shaded in blue and red add up to 325, and the area shaded in red is 20 percent of 325. In other words, blue is 260, red is 65, and blue plus red is 325.
