What is 80 percent less than 331? What is the formula used to calculate 80 percent less than 331? How can we calculate 80 percent less than 331?
Here we will show you the formula used to calculate 80 percent less than 331 (80% less than 331), and then we will calculate the answer to 80 percent less than 331 using our formula. We will also illustrate what 80 percent less than 331 looks like.
The formula used to calculate 80 percent less than 331, 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 80 for P and 331 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 80 percent less than 331, as solved here:
PL = 331 - ((80 ÷ 100) × 331)
PL = 331 - (0.8 × 331)
PL = 331 - 264.8
PL = 66.2
80% less than 331 = 66.2
So, how does our formula work to calculate 80 percent less than 331? First, it takes 80 percent of 331, and then we subtract that result from 331 to get our final answer. We have provided an illustration below so you can better visualize 80 percent less than 331.
In our illustration above, the areas shaded in blue and red add up to 331, and the area shaded in red is 80 percent of 331. In other words, blue is 66.2, red is 264.8, and blue plus red is 331.
