How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
- Multiply: 0.07 × 4 = 0.28
- Check: Work backwards: 0.28 ÷ 4 × 100 = 7%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/100 = part/4, so part = 7 × 4 ÷ 100 = 0.28. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =7%*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
0.28 is the 7% share of 4. The remaining 93% is 3.72, and the two parts add back up to 4.
Discounts: 7% off an item priced $4 saves $0.28, so you pay $3.72.
Adding and taking away 7%
Increasing 4 by 7% gives 4.28 and decreasing it by 7% gives 3.72. These do not cancel out: raising 4 by 7% and then lowering the result by 7% ends at 3.9804, because the second 7% is taken of a bigger number.
