How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 4 ÷ 98 = 0.040816
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.040816 × 100 = 4.0816%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.0816% of 98 is 0.040816 × 98 = 4.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/98 = p/100, so p = 4 × 100 ÷ 98 = 4.0816%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =4/98*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.
