The formula used to calculate 20 percent less than 552, 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 552 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 20 percent less than 552, as solved here:
PL = 552 - ((20 ÷ 100) × 552)
PL = 552 - (0.2 × 552)
PL = 552 - 110.4
PL = 441.6
20% less than 552 = 441.6
So, how does our formula work to calculate 20 percent less than 552? First, it takes 20 percent of 552, and then we subtract that result from 552 to get our final answer. We have provided an illustration below so you can better visualize 20 percent less than 552.
