How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 63 ÷ 100 = 0.63
  2. Multiply: 0.63 × 4 = 2.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.52 ÷ 4 × 100 = 63%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 63/100 = part/4, so part = 63 × 4 ÷ 100 = 2.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =63%*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

2.52 is the 63% share of 4. The remaining 37% is 1.48, and the two parts add back up to 4.

Discounts: 63% off an item priced $4 saves $2.52, so you pay $1.48.

Adding and taking away 63%

Increasing 4 by 63% gives 6.52 and decreasing it by 63% gives 1.48. These do not cancel out: raising 4 by 63% and then lowering the result by 63% ends at 2.4124, because the second 63% is taken of a bigger number.
