How to work it out
- Divide the part by the whole: 4 ÷ 100 = 0.04
- Multiply by 100: 0.04 × 100 = 4%
- Check: Work backwards: 4% of 100 is 0.04 × 100 = 4.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/100 = p/100, so p = 4 × 100 ÷ 100 = 4%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =4/100*100. Dividing the wrong way round (whole ÷ part) gives a different answer. The number after “of” is always the whole, so it goes on the bottom.
What the result means
4 is less than a tenth of 100. The part that is left, 96, is the other 96%.
Test scores: 4 correct answers out of 100 is a score of 4%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.
Turning it around
If you know that 4 is 4% of a number, you can get that number back: 4 ÷ 0.04 = 100. And 100 as a percentage of 4 is 2,500%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
