How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 4 ÷ 100 = 0.04
- Multiply: 0.04 × 27 = 1.08
- Check: Work backwards: 1.08 ÷ 27 × 100 = 4%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/100 = part/27, so part = 4 × 27 ÷ 100 = 1.08. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =4%*27. 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

Adding and taking away 4%
Increasing 27 by 4% gives 28.08 and decreasing it by 4% gives 25.92. These do not cancel out: raising 27 by 4% and then lowering the result by 4% ends at 26.9568, because the second 4% is taken of a bigger number.
