What is 20 percent less than 375? What is the formula used to calculate 20 percent less than 375? How can we calculate 20 percent less than 375?
Here we will show you the formula used to calculate 20 percent less than 375 (20% less than 375), and then we will calculate the answer to 20 percent less than 375 using our formula. We will also illustrate what 20 percent less than 375 looks like.
The formula used to calculate 20 percent less than 375, 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 375 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 20 percent less than 375, as solved here:
PL = 375 - ((20 ÷ 100) × 375)
PL = 375 - (0.2 × 375)
PL = 375 - 75
PL = 300
20% less than 375 = 300
So, how does our formula work to calculate 20 percent less than 375? First, it takes 20 percent of 375, and then we subtract that result from 375 to get our final answer. We have provided an illustration below so you can better visualize 20 percent less than 375.
