How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
  2. Multiply: 0.48 × 4 = 1.92
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.92 ÷ 4 × 100 = 48%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/4, so part = 48 × 4 ÷ 100 = 1.92. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48%*4. 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

1.92 is the 48% share of 4. The remaining 52% is 2.08, and the two parts add back up to 4.

Discounts: 48% off an item priced $4 saves $1.92, so you pay $2.08.

Adding and taking away 48%

Increasing 4 by 48% gives 5.92 and decreasing it by 48% gives 2.08. These do not cancel out: raising 4 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 3.0784, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
