How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 4 ÷ 100 = 0.04
  2. Multiply: 0.04 × 46 = 1.84
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.84 ÷ 46 × 100 = 4%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/100 = part/46, so part = 4 × 46 ÷ 100 = 1.84. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =4%*46. 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

1.84 is the 4% share of 46. The remaining 96% is 44.16, and the two parts add back up to 46.

Discounts: 4% off an item priced $46 saves $1.84, so you pay $44.16.

Adding and taking away 4%

Increasing 46 by 4% gives 47.84 and decreasing it by 4% gives 44.16. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 4% and then lowering the result by 4% ends at 45.9264, because the second 4% is taken of a bigger number.
