How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
  2. Multiply: 0.99 × 4 = 3.96
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.96 ÷ 4 × 100 = 99%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/4, so part = 99 × 4 ÷ 100 = 3.96. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =99%*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

3.96 is the 99% share of 4. The remaining 1% is 0.04, and the two parts add back up to 4.

Discounts: 99% off an item priced $4 saves $3.96, so you pay $0.04.

Adding and taking away 99%

Increasing 4 by 99% gives 7.96 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.04. These do not cancel out: raising 4 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 0.0796, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
