How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 4 ÷ 100 = 0.04
  2. Multiply: 0.04 × 77 = 3.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.08 ÷ 77 × 100 = 4%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/100 = part/77, so part = 4 × 77 ÷ 100 = 3.08. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =4%*77. 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

3.08 is the 4% share of 77. The remaining 96% is 73.92, and the two parts add back up to 77.

Discounts: 4% off an item priced $77 saves $3.08, so you pay $73.92.

Adding and taking away 4%

Increasing 77 by 4% gives 80.08 and decreasing it by 4% gives 73.92. These do not cancel out: raising 77 by 4% and then lowering the result by 4% ends at 76.8768, because the second 4% is taken of a bigger number.
