How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 4 ÷ 100 = 0.04
- Multiply: 0.04 × 23 = 0.92
- Check: Work backwards: 0.92 ÷ 23 × 100 = 4%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/100 = part/23, so part = 4 × 23 ÷ 100 = 0.92. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =4%*23. 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
0.92 is the 4% share of 23. The remaining 96% is 22.08, and the two parts add back up to 23.
Discounts: 4% off an item priced $23 saves $0.92, so you pay $22.08.
Adding and taking away 4%
Increasing 23 by 4% gives 23.92 and decreasing it by 4% gives 22.08. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 4% and then lowering the result by 4% ends at 22.9632, because the second 4% is taken of a bigger number.
