What is 8 percent less than 164? What is the formula used to calculate 8 percent less than 164? How can we calculate 8 percent less than 164?
Here we will show you the formula used to calculate 8 percent less than 164 (8% less than 164), and then we will calculate the answer to 8 percent less than 164 using our formula. We will also illustrate what 8 percent less than 164 looks like.
The formula used to calculate 8 percent less than 164, 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 8 for P and 164 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 8 percent less than 164, as solved here:
PL = 164 - ((8 ÷ 100) × 164)
PL = 164 - (0.08 × 164)
PL = 164 - 13.12
PL = 150.88
8% less than 164 = 150.88
So, how does our formula work to calculate 8 percent less than 164? First, it takes 8 percent of 164, and then we subtract that result from 164 to get our final answer. We have provided an illustration below so you can better visualize 8 percent less than 164.
In our illustration above, the areas shaded in blue and red add up to 164, and the area shaded in red is 8 percent of 164. In other words, blue is 150.88, red is 13.12, and blue plus red is 164.
