How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 4 ÷ 100 = 0.04
- Multiply: 0.04 × 99 = 3.96
- Check: Work backwards: 3.96 ÷ 99 × 100 = 4%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/100 = part/99, so part = 4 × 99 ÷ 100 = 3.96. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =4%*99. 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
3.96 is the 4% share of 99. The remaining 96% is 95.04, and the two parts add back up to 99.
Discounts: 4% off an item priced $99 saves $3.96, so you pay $95.04.
Adding and taking away 4%
Increasing 99 by 4% gives 102.96 and decreasing it by 4% gives 95.04. These do not cancel out: raising 99 by 4% and then lowering the result by 4% ends at 98.8416, because the second 4% is taken of a bigger number.
