Scaling an encounter

If the scaling instructions for an encounter says "add an additional Creature for every four points beyond 16", and the party is 22 points, do I add one creature (20 points) or two (more than 20 points)?

I'm guessing one; but I'm also stunned that this has not come up in any of the games I've previously run.

22 is not 8 more than 16, so you wouldn't add two creatures.

In general, PF2 rounds down:

You may need to calculate a fraction of a value, like halving damage. Always round down unless otherwise specified. For example, if a spell deals 7 damage and a creature takes half damage from it, that creature takes 3 damage.
