How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
  2. Multiply: 0.73 × 4 = 2.92
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.92 ÷ 4 × 100 = 73%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/4, so part = 73 × 4 ÷ 100 = 2.92. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73%*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

2.92 is the 73% share of 4. The remaining 27% is 1.08, and the two parts add back up to 4.

Discounts: 73% off an item priced $4 saves $2.92, so you pay $1.08.

Adding and taking away 73%

Increasing 4 by 73% gives 6.92 and decreasing it by 73% gives 1.08. These do not cancel out: raising 4 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 1.8684, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
