How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 4 ÷ 100 = 0.04
  2. Multiply: 0.04 × 28 = 1.12
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.12 ÷ 28 × 100 = 4%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/100 = part/28, so part = 4 × 28 ÷ 100 = 1.12. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =4%*28. 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

1.12 is the 4% share of 28. The remaining 96% is 26.88, and the two parts add back up to 28.

Discounts: 4% off an item priced $28 saves $1.12, so you pay $26.88.

Adding and taking away 4%

Increasing 28 by 4% gives 29.12 and decreasing it by 4% gives 26.88. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 4% and then lowering the result by 4% ends at 27.9552, because the second 4% is taken of a bigger number.
