How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 4 ÷ 100 = 0.04
  2. Multiply: 0.04 × 32 = 1.28
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.28 ÷ 32 × 100 = 4%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/100 = part/32, so part = 4 × 32 ÷ 100 = 1.28. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =4%*32. 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

1.28 is the 4% share of 32. The remaining 96% is 30.72, and the two parts add back up to 32.

Discounts: 4% off an item priced $32 saves $1.28, so you pay $30.72.

Adding and taking away 4%

Increasing 32 by 4% gives 33.28 and decreasing it by 4% gives 30.72. These do not cancel out: raising 32 by 4% and then lowering the result by 4% ends at 31.9488, because the second 4% is taken of a bigger number.
