How would you find 4% of £6.50?

4% is the same as finding 1% then multiplying that by 4.

1% is 0.065 as you divide 6.50 by 100.

0.065 x 4 = 0.26

so 26p

You find 1% first then multiply it by 4. So that would be 0.065 x 4 which is £0.26

We know that percentages are out of 100. This means that 6.50 is 100%. In order to work out 4%, we can first work out 1%, and then multiply by 4 to get 4%. To get 1% we simply divide 6.50 by 100. This gives us 0.65. Now, we can work out the 4% we need by multiplying 0.65 by 4, which is 2.6.

Hello! Great question! 1% would be 0.065! The all you have to do is times that by 4. The answer of course is 26p! Hope that helps!

There are two ways in which I would teach this.

The first being that we know that 100% = £6.50, so we can start by finding 1%.

How do we go from 100% to 1%? (We divide by 100). Noting that whatever we do to one side of an equation we must do to the other. Therefore we must also divide £6.50 by 100, giving us £0.065 (or 6.5p).

Now we know that 1% = 6.5p, how would we find 4%?

How do we go from 1% to 4%? (We multiply by 4). Noting that whatever we do to one side of an equation we must do to the other. Therefore we must also multiply 6.5p by 4.

We now know that 4% = £0.26 or 26p.

The second way I would teach this is to ask students to find the multiplier. If 100% = a multiplier of 1. What will 4% be? It would be 0.04.

We take our original value of £6.50 and multiply it by 0.04 giving us the same answer as above, 26p.

Hi there, to answer your question

First - divide 6.5 by 100 to find 1% of £6.50

1% = 0.065

Next - simply multiply your answer by 4, to find 4%

4% = 0.26

If this is a calculator question the easiest hack to find any percentage of anything on a calculator is to locate the % button, on my calculator its found by pressing 'shift' then 'ans' , yours may be different but it will be in yellow above one of the buttons meaning you will need to press shift before it.

In maths whenever you see the word 'of' you need to multiply.

So 4% of 6.50 means 4% x 6.50

using my calculator i would type :

4 'shift' 'ans' x 6.50 =

then my answer would be 0.26

Firstly, it would be helpful to find 1% which you get by dividing the number by 100. This gets you 6.5 Then we would need to times this value by 4 to find 4%. This would be 26p.

step 1: £6.50 = 100%, so dividing it by 100 gives us 1%

6.5 ÷ 100 = 0.065

step 2: 1% x 4 = 4%, so now multiply the answer by the percent you wish to find

0.065 x 4 = 0.26

4% of £6.50 = £0.26

First find 1% by dividing by 100, the multiply by 4.

6.50 divided by 100 is 6.5p

6.5p times 4 is 26p

I would start by finding what 1% of 6.50 is. If 100% (full amount) = 6.50 then 1% would be 100x smaller. To find this, i would divide 6.50 by 100, giving me 0.065. This is 1%. Now to find 4% we just need 4x as much as the 1%. so 0.065 x 4 = 0.26. So the answer is 26p!

By hand to find 4% of a number, it is best to find 1% first. Percentage means out of 100 so to find 1% divide by 100. It is easier to change £6.50 to pence so 650p. This makes it easier to find 1%.

650 divide by 100 = 6.5p (move the digits 2 places to the right). To find 4% then multiply the answer of 6.5p by 4. One way to do this is to double the number and then double it again. So 6.5 x 2 = 13p and then 13p x 2 = 26p.

4% of £6.50 = 26p or £0.26

4/100 x 650 = 0.26 p

First thing you would like to do is to convert the percentage into decimals. Which is 0.04

Then simply do 6.50 x 0.04 = 0.26

6.50 times by 4 and divide this by 100 which would equal to £0.26
