How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 4 ÷ 100 = 0.04
- Multiply: 0.04 × 10 = 0.4
- Check: Work backwards: 0.4 ÷ 10 × 100 = 4%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/100 = part/10, so part = 4 × 10 ÷ 100 = 0.4. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =4%*10. 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
0.4 is the 4% share of 10. The remaining 96% is 9.6, and the two parts add back up to 10.
Discounts: 4% off an item priced $10 saves $0.4, so you pay $9.6.
Adding and taking away 4%
Increasing 10 by 4% gives 10.4 and decreasing it by 4% gives 9.6. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 4% and then lowering the result by 4% ends at 9.984, because the second 4% is taken of a bigger number.
