How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
  2. Multiply: 0.88 × 4 = 3.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.52 ÷ 4 × 100 = 88%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/4, so part = 88 × 4 ÷ 100 = 3.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88%*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

3.52 is the 88% share of 4. The remaining 12% is 0.48, and the two parts add back up to 4.

Discounts: 88% off an item priced $4 saves $3.52, so you pay $0.48.

Adding and taking away 88%

Increasing 4 by 88% gives 7.52 and decreasing it by 88% gives 0.48. These do not cancel out: raising 4 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 0.9024, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
