How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
  2. Multiply: 0.24 × 4 = 0.96
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.96 ÷ 4 × 100 = 24%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/4, so part = 24 × 4 ÷ 100 = 0.96. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =24%*4. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

What the result means

0.96 is the 24% share of 4. The remaining 76% is 3.04, and the two parts add back up to 4.

Discounts: 24% off an item priced $4 saves $0.96, so you pay $3.04.

Adding and taking away 24%

Increasing 4 by 24% gives 4.96 and decreasing it by 24% gives 3.04. These do not cancel out: raising 4 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 3.7696, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
