How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84
  2. Multiply: 0.84 × 4 = 3.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.36 ÷ 4 × 100 = 84%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/100 = part/4, so part = 84 × 4 ÷ 100 = 3.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =84%*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

3.36 is the 84% share of 4. The remaining 16% is 0.64, and the two parts add back up to 4.

Discounts: 84% off an item priced $4 saves $3.36, so you pay $0.64.

Adding and taking away 84%

Increasing 4 by 84% gives 7.36 and decreasing it by 84% gives 0.64. These do not cancel out: raising 4 by 84% and then lowering the result by 84% ends at 1.1776, because the second 84% is taken of a bigger number.
