Calculation type: Finding the value after a percentage
decrease.
Calculator usage:
Step 1: Calculate the reduction hours. Use the Basic Percentage CALCULATOR ("What is X% of Y?"). Enter 20 [X] and 40 [Y]. The calculator will determine 20% of 40 hours.
Step 2: Subtract the number of hours calculated in Step 1 from the original number of hours.
Formula explanation:
We want to find the working hours after a 20% reduction from 40 hours.
Reduction in working time = 20% of 40 hours
Reduction in working time = (20 / 100) × 40 hours = 0.2 × 40 hours = 8 hours
New working hours = Original working hours - Reduction in working time
New working hours = 40 hours - 8 hours = 32 hours
