The formula used to calculate 20 percent less than 444, 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 444 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 20 percent less than 444, as solved here:
PL = 444 - ((20 ÷ 100) × 444)
PL = 444 - (0.2 × 444)
PL = 444 - 88.8
PL = 355.2
20% less than 444 = 355.2
