How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
  2. Multiply: 0.98 × 4 = 3.92
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.92 ÷ 4 × 100 = 98%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/4, so part = 98 × 4 ÷ 100 = 3.92. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98%*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

3.92 is the 98% share of 4. The remaining 2% is 0.08, and the two parts add back up to 4.

Discounts: 98% off an item priced $4 saves $3.92, so you pay $0.08.

Adding and taking away 98%

Increasing 4 by 98% gives 7.92 and decreasing it by 98% gives 0.08. These do not cancel out: raising 4 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 0.1584, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
