How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 4 ÷ 100 = 0.04
  2. Multiply: 0.04 × 14 = 0.56
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.56 ÷ 14 × 100 = 4%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/100 = part/14, so part = 4 × 14 ÷ 100 = 0.56. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =4%*14. 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

0.56 is the 4% share of 14. The remaining 96% is 13.44, and the two parts add back up to 14.

Discounts: 4% off an item priced $14 saves $0.56, so you pay $13.44.

Adding and taking away 4%

Increasing 14 by 4% gives 14.56 and decreasing it by 4% gives 13.44. These do not cancel out: raising 14 by 4% and then lowering the result by 4% ends at 13.9776, because the second 4% is taken of a bigger number.
