How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 4 ÷ 100 = 0.04
- Multiply: 0.04 × 71 = 2.84
- Check: Work backwards: 2.84 ÷ 71 × 100 = 4%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/100 = part/71, so part = 4 × 71 ÷ 100 = 2.84. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =4%*71. 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
2.84 is the 4% share of 71. The remaining 96% is 68.16, and the two parts add back up to 71.

Adding and taking away 4%
Increasing 71 by 4% gives 73.84 and decreasing it by 4% gives 68.16. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 4% and then lowering the result by 4% ends at 70.8864, because the second 4% is taken of a bigger number.
