What is 80 percent less than 900? What is the formula used to calculate 80 percent less than 900? How can we calculate 80 percent less than 900?
Here we will show you the formula used to calculate 80 percent less than 900 (80% less than 900), and then we will calculate the answer to 80 percent less than 900 using our formula. We will also illustrate what 80 percent less than 900 looks like.
The formula used to calculate 80 percent less than 900, 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 900 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 80 percent less than 900, as solved here:
PL = 900 - ((80 ÷ 100) × 900)
PL = 900 - (0.8 × 900)
PL = 900 - 720
PL = 180
80% less than 900 = 180
So, how does our formula work to calculate 80 percent less than 900? First, it takes 80 percent of 900, and then we subtract that result from 900 to get our final answer. We have provided an illustration below so you can better visualize 80 percent less than 900.
In our illustration above, the areas shaded in blue and red add up to 900, and the area shaded in red is 80 percent of 900. In other words, blue is 180, red is 720, and blue plus red is 900.
