How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 4 ÷ 100 = 0.04
  2. Multiply: 0.04 × 95 = 3.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.8 ÷ 95 × 100 = 4%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/100 = part/95, so part = 4 × 95 ÷ 100 = 3.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =4%*95. 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

3.8 is the 4% share of 95. The remaining 96% is 91.2, and the two parts add back up to 95.

Discounts: 4% off an item priced $95 saves $3.8, so you pay $91.2.

Adding and taking away 4%

Increasing 95 by 4% gives 98.8 and decreasing it by 4% gives 91.2. These do not cancel out: raising 95 by 4% and then lowering the result by 4% ends at 94.848, because the second 4% is taken of a bigger number.
