How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 4 ÷ 100 = 0.04
  2. Multiply: 0.04 × 33 = 1.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.32 ÷ 33 × 100 = 4%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/100 = part/33, so part = 4 × 33 ÷ 100 = 1.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =4%*33. 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

1.32 is the 4% share of 33. The remaining 96% is 31.68, and the two parts add back up to 33.

Discounts: 4% off an item priced $33 saves $1.32, so you pay $31.68.

Adding and taking away 4%

Increasing 33 by 4% gives 34.32 and decreasing it by 4% gives 31.68. These do not cancel out: raising 33 by 4% and then lowering the result by 4% ends at 32.9472, because the second 4% is taken of a bigger number.
